Any 52-54 Lincoln owners out there?
Hi, I'm new to the site, and posted my question in the wrong section. I am attempting to restore a 1952 Lincoln Capri 2 door coupe. I am looking for any info on the early Lincolns ,especially body parts, weatherstripping sources etc. There seems to be limited info out there, that I can find anyway. This my first restoration project and it seems I picked one that parts are very scarce. I am mostly interested in cosmetic parts as I will not be using the stock suspension.
I could also use some expertise on removing all this trim lol |

Also post your question on the Early Ford V-8 Club site(www.earlyfordv8.org). There's some Lincoln guys over there that can probably help.

There is also an active club called "Road Race Lincoln Register" that was established in 1972. They cater for all 1949 to 1957 Lincolns and produce a very nice quarterly publication titled "Viva Carrera". This is the Link to their Web Site.

Thanks for the replies. I will check out those sites for sure. I kinda like the name " road race Lincoln " as opposed to Hot rod Lincoln.lol

Re: Any 52-54 Lincoln owners out there?
La Carrera Panamericana was a big deal back in the 50s. Lincoln cars did pretty well in that type race.
http://www.panamrace.com/ Lincoln took to the stock class pretty heavily. Keeping tire on those cars was one of the big problems. Last edited by rotorwrench; 11-13-2019 at 03:14 PM. |
