One thing though...You better not tell your better half that you're smuggling in strange women in your trunk! From the looks of it, you could fit a whole harem in there! Have fun with the new toy, Chris |

| Juliano leone : Cool car man! I just bought a '62 with only 17,000 original miles. The only thing is that it was kept outside. The interior is grea, but the paint and dash pad need some work. If you have any advice on parts or what not, send me a message at julian_leon@msn.com THanks! |

IT was well worth it until the dumb shit that was moving it onto the trailer with a forlift dropped it and bent the frame :-( . Then he just bought a regular 4 door sedan and we still have it to this dayWe also have a 71 cadallic coupe deville and a 69 roadrunner. |

| Jim from Australia: I am the owner of a 77 Mark V which I saw for sale in Pa. a couple of years back, and just had have, so I bought it and had it shiipped to Australia. I just love it and really like the look of your Lincoln. Needless to say, I am the only kid on the block with a Lincoln Continental. jnsthomas@bigpond.com |
| Chris Rhodes: I have a 63 lin I've always loved them love since I was little. |
| Wendell from Seattle: That is amazing. You did a fantastic job. I own a 1993 Town car, which I am currently restoring. Hopefully someday, I will have photos to share. |
| Ian upstate New York: I have had my 63 for about a year and half and i just put it on the road after 19 years of sitting. |
| soundcity@earthlink.net: !'ve enjoyed your website for the past year or more. I, too, own a 63 (trible black convertible, and try to drive it at least once a week. Antique Auto Battery now offers an authentic Ford Power Punch 27F battery with internals built to military specs (no maintenance-6 to 10 year life span) and repro original battery cables, available from Baker, would really be the frosting on the cake! Excellent work! |
| i got a nova!: my dad did most of the body work on that car......beautiful by the way |
| The Alaskan: What a nice car, they did a great job finishing it. I own a 59 Lincoln Mark IV convertible and a 79 Lincoln Town Car and just love big cars. A freind of mine is restoring a 63 Continental like yours and he is getting close, it is ivory with a light blue interior. |
| john: Nice job...excellent resto job on such a big boat!Enjoy it. |
| Bob Schoenberg: This just proves a point....you must have a great sense of humor to be in this hobby. Congratulations & best wishes. |

| Bill Prindible: Stu, I just won an award for the best of show at Hot August Nights in Reno for my 1963 Lincoln Continental for best unrestored chrome in a 1965 or older vehicle. Send me your e-mail address to wcprindible@ucdavis.edu and I will send you some pictures. My Lincoln is exactly the same as yours in interior colors etc. except that it is all original except for redoing the leather interior and repainting the car teal blue. |
| Bill Prindible (continued: It also has 253,000 miles on the original engine and runs like a top. I drove it over the mountains from Sacramento to reno for the show and it just cruised between 80 & 90 MPH. I too share your love of the car as my Dad had a dealership and we owned two of them which I grew up in at age 7 to 10 in Ohio. Hope you answer the e-mail so that we can compare pictures. My award from HAN says, And on the 8th day, God created CHROME. |

Sold it to a bunch of Hell's Angels, who said they owned 6 or 7 of the things. If I were living in So. Calif, where I lived before moving to Alaska, I'd have one today, and would have a blast maintaining it properly. |
| dianesdesigns@usamedia.tv: I recently took my deceased husbands 63 out of a where it was stored for 13 years. Before that , it was garaged for20 yrs. It only has 69000 original miles on it . I hope to sell it soon , maybe on ebaygarage |

| Rick: Some friends of my parents had a 1969 Lincoln Continental. Man I was like a kid in a space ship in that car...It was a wonderful car. Never will forget that ride, smooth as air. And the speedomoter on that model was like a thermometer and changed colors to show your speed. Thought it was the coolest thing ever. Did most of the Lincolns come with auto headlight dimmers or was that an option? |
| phnsoccer15@yahoo.com: I am looking at a 1963 continental hard-top just like this that needs a little less restoration then yours did. How much did it take to fully restore this vehicle.

| matt mercer: Stu, thanks again for selling me the reverse lens! It's perfect! Matt |
| craig: Great story. I love hearing about these classics being resurrected. It's odd, thinking back in the 80's, you'd see 60's cars in various states of disrepair on the roads. Now most have given up the ghost - save for cases like this. Kudos |

| Mark Schnizer: I enjoyed your article in Lincoln and continental comments. Your story is similar to mine. I have loved 60's Lincolns since I was 10 (I'm now 43). I purchased a 63 Convertible In June of 99, sight unseen. I figured it would need some work but I wasn't prepared for the surprise when I saw the car. Nine years later with a wife and two kids and a lot less cash, I have a musuem piece, like yours. Mine is chestnut with a honey beige interior. jmjschnizer@fuse.net Cincinnati Ohio. |

| Corey: Very nice! I first drove a big car (82 Cadillac) and I bought a 98 Town Car last year for a good price. I actually like it better than I thought I would so now I guess I'm getting back into big cars. Found a 62 Cont. hardtop about 20 miles from home which I think has some potential.

| George: Stu- It's a wonderful story and really communicates the kind of attachment some of us feel for a big hunk of metal. Not an easy thing to explain to some people. I have been working on a '62 for years now. Its been a labor of love and my way to forget business and the rest of life's concerns for a few hours each weekend. |

| Kasen: Hi. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. I am from Canada and too poorly know English, give true I wrote the following sentence: "In this day and age of higher prices and a lower standard of living, it can be hard to make ends meet."
