    2nd Paragraph: ;)

    Introduced in October 1939, the entirely hand-built Lincoln Zephyr Continental convertible was positioned at the very top of the Lincoln line-up, with a higher price tag than all but a couple of Cadillac and Packard models. Longer through the hood and three inches lower than the Zephyr, the Continental was equipped with the fabled Zephyr V-12 engine making 120 smooth horsepower. 404 cars were built in 1940, the first of which went to actor Jackie Cooper.

    Is it just me, or does that rear bumper look wrong for the car?
    Looks to me like you could hack off someone's legs as you drive by a sidewalk!

    It would probably make some purists stroke out, but I would have to improve on the factory rear bumper if I owned that car...

    If I owned that car... I would sell it to someone who has the time and money to cut his evergreens into spirals.
