I'm 81 yrs old and my 4th grad teacher had the same car and the only one in town and I always thought that it was a beauty, that was in Calif, love you guys, I love your garage,
My father owned that car for many years. He collected antique cars, that one was his favorite. Drove it often, even in the 4th of July parades in Galena, IL, USA.
I think he would be happy to see you two loving it so much. I can’t wait to see what you do with her.
Absolutely fantastic, gentlemen! Congrats Jim on such an amazing machine! Can't wait to see it... Cheers!
Jim seems you are into those Lincoln Continentals. This one is really special. Can't wait to see you and Matt fix it up and taking it for a spin.
Speaking as an Iowan, believe me.. it's seen 40 below. Ha!
Chilly on Willie write your name brrr in cursive🎅🏻🎄 brass monkey 🐒 not in yet, wicked witch still giving warm milk. My well digger has a warm buns.
At one point, after it backed into the parking spot, I said to myself "Boy, that is unreal." Very special car.
Great score! One of my favourite cars. Careful Jim or your nickname will be Mr Lincoln!
A stunning car that could not have found a better home! Congratulations!
Orson Welles gave Rita Hayworth a '41 coupe that was later restored. It was a mint green - 'Paradise Green' - and looked very good. I believe it went to auction earlier this year. Great find, Jim - it will look fantastic next to the Mark II. Hope you find a '58 Mark III next!
Hey big daddy, I saw that car and I tell you no lie, it had every custom treatment you could name, and when I asked the guy about it, he said he was just storing it for the guy that actually owned it and he told me the story about how it used to belong to Rita Hayworth. The car I saw was more than likely a Lincoln Zephyr, it had a padded Carson top, a LaSalle grille, everything was frenched, it had push button doors and a continental kit, I think it may have even been sectioned, it had been fully customized way back in the day and needed complete restoration. It was about 40 some odd years ago when I saw that car, I never forgot it.
V12 ! Not many cars were made after 41 .
After the war ended it took a few years for the manufacturers to really invest in new styling & new engines.
The Chevy , Ford & Chrysler small blocks were another 10 yrs out after the war .
They basically built straighs & flatheads ..
But they were very dependable for the era & easy to work on...
Don't let Jim and Scott near that car together or fenders will be flying g off.
What an old beauty 👍🏻,love it !
What a nice car. These are so much prettier than the post war versions. Really don't know what they were thinking with the styling on those.
well done on 10k. so jims got two lincolns now awsome. cheers guys.
You guys are unbelievable...Need I say more...You buy my dream cars...
What will you break for 20K subscribers Matt? 😆 Beautiful car, just don't let James Caan drive it thru a tollbooth!
Nice complement to Jim's project '56 Continental.
The old girl took right off. Nice!
I have always loved the 1940-41 Fords, Mercs, and now the Lincolns. Great find. Hope your leg is healing Matt. Cheers
Congrats on 10K subscribers! Lovely car. A Zepher is just as rare. I'd bet the production numbers are very small and parts are hard to find.
Love that Lincoln, glad IA gave up her Lincoln. Best wishes and happy motoring!
Congratulations on 10K. Now shoot for 20K. Nice Lincoln Continental. Rare car in 1941.
Lovely!!! Can’t wait to see a Level Three Tidy done on it!
That's something you don't see every day. What a find.
I know that car has a great home. Congratulations on 10K subscribers and the new toy. Cheers!
What a strikingly beautiful car, You now have the largest Lincoln collection in Canada. Glad you got it. You did a great job on Scott's Chevy. I just subscribed. I live in Pennsylvania, in the US
Congrats on 10K Subs....many more to follow. I am one of your early subscribers and have watched every episode. Always entertaining, thanks.
Beautiful car and a convertible. Great new project
The hopping on crutches was the best part. Nice old car also.
Hey that steering wheel is a disaster!!! Other than those tired looking fender skirts, she's gorgeous! Congrats!!
Congrats Matt and Jim on breaking 10000 subscribers. Awesome purchase Jim ,very cool car.
Wow Jim, that's a great looking car there. Excellent that it runs. Lincoln V12 trivia: Did you know the V12 is odd-fire? The timing events are not equally divided. Something to do with the 72 degree Vee angle. Oh yeah, loved the closing shot too. Take care, don't overdo it, Matt. All the best, Mart in England.
Beautiful! And a nice mate to Jim's '56 Continental!
Wicked !!!
I thought the 56 was treasure ,
this is ultra rare treasure here
Matt hopping around there ....lol... take it easy there
...... Keep 'em coming !!!
My dad had a 41 Merc. Great car I can still remember the smell 70 years later. The Merc had black-out headlight shields.
WOW cool car good job, thank you for sharing ALL stay safe
One of my personal favorites. That sitting next to the 56 would make me stretch my neck to gawk. Another milestone machine, excellent 👍
I saw this car when it was up for sale on IG from a hot rod buddy not long ago. That's a really nice car. I was really jonesing for it. Glad you guys got it!
Good luck. They are great cars.
Dual exhaust with some Smithy’s mufflers or even straight pipe would sound so good on that V12.
Scott's bud will whip up a great sound.
You fellers can sure score some neat old cars.
Ten thousand subscribers can't be wrong. That Lincoln looks solid. Nice to hear it running. Matt is running too, except on crutches.
I could say I was surprised if it wasn't Jim that bought that Conti. You always seem to find these jewels. Congrats on the Lincoln sister to the 56. Now let's see that Powell you have! Hoping Matt is healing well and feeling better.
CONGRATS ON MULTIPLE FRONTS!!! Kudos for 10K. Ku-DOS for a SWEET catch with that Lincoln. The epitome of style and elegance for the age. Purrs nicely, should be a wonderful project as well as splendid content fodder. Cheers, Gentlemen!
What a beautiful specimen of Lincoln automobiles!
y'all get so excited you finish each other's sentences 😆. Love it! Congratulations on your first 10k!
Beautiful car! Great find.
Congratulations on the Continental and the 10thousand subscribers!
Cool Lincoln
I believe Edsel Ford had a major influence on the Continental
I heard that they had to keep enlarging the grill because of the
V/16 generated more under hood heat than the V8 little did they know they design an iconic grill
Matt hopping across the screen was awesome. hahahaha...can't wait for the next video.
This is my favorite automobile. I love the Mark II as well but this rarity is remarkable, it looks very orginal and in superb shape. .
Congratulations on 10K subscribers.
The Lincoln Continental is a beast. She looks right at home in the shop.
83 Years old, a very impressive car.
Jim, I don't know whether to say congratulations or Heaven help you but I know that car is in good hands.
Aw that is just the bee's knees, gentlemen!
I have one. It’s midnite blue. It’s 1 of 9 of the 400 built with the blue and white leather with white piping interior. Been in my family since new and Hasn’t been on the road since ‘65. Beautiful machines!!
Wow - you guys don't mess around when it comes to buying the top of the line!
Sweet!
It's always nice when your buddy's just a hop,skip,and a jump away when you need help.V-12 Lincoln will be awesome once you drop in the twin turbos and bolt on the gold 24's...I jest.Sounded so smooth at idle.Can't wait to see it after the 1st waxing.Congratulations!
I like the 41 grill better than the 42/46. What a great find and addition to the channel.
Congratulations! The first-generation Continentals are one of my favourite designs. Truly a beautiful car.
Good find, have fun !!!
That car is fantastic. 😍 Look's like a custom rod right from the factory. 😁👌
One of the most beautiful cars ever made. Huge, huge congrats on the purchase!
Sweet car. Congrats Jim
..wow...she's a beauty.....have fun with her, and look forward to the getting roadworthy vids.....
Awesome car! Jim is really moving up in the world with his collection of cool Lincolns. Nice to see a survivor like this in good hands.
That is a great find. It sounds sweet. Can't wait to see you guys tear into it and work your magic on it.
Congrats gents! The distributor(s) on these is crazy. Jim sure likes the Lincolns he needs to collect them all. Just try not to buy any more smashed up ones!
Great find! Two '41s and two Continentals out of only three cars. Fingers crossed the smoke clears up. But if a rebuild is in the cards it would make for some pretty Strong content.
LOVE it!!! Best of luck. Great channel. Thanks to Cold War Motors for introducing me.
Super cool car. Scott's already on his way over I imagine!
You guys get all the cool cars...
Beautiful car, Jim - you're a lucky man! Bet this one is finished before your other Continental.
SG, great video! my friend Bob had a 1939 (as I remember) Lincoln Zephier V-16 back in the mid-50s that smoked a bit more than your V-12! Thanks for the memories!
Just an AMAZING score guys ! One of the best looking cars ever built to my eyes - glamour on wheels !
You will no doubt know all about the problems that the old V12 suffered - mainly due apparently to poor ventilation and breathing . Rather a good article was written about it some years ago by another Jim - Jim Norris , entitled "Lincoln-Zephyr : Return of the Breeze . He details his ways to correct the problems .
Was I the only one who saw the rear wheel fender skirts and thought it had a chrome mermaid riding a seahorse?
Yep. Definitely have had too much caffeine!
Jim’s garage may become the Memorial House of Lincoln.
What a sweet Lincoln! Edsel's baby. Congrats on 10K subs. You guys are doing great stuff.
Such a neat car when the video came across My for you page I had to watch again. 👌
Jim that is amazing! Congratulations on that beautiful Lincoln!
You have one of the very best right there. Years ago, my neighbor and friend, Professor Schultz owned one of those. I think he bought it new.
Amazing car! My dad and I have a 1947 Continental Convertible with the V-12, and it is such a great car. Can’t wait to see more videos about this one!
Congrats on your new project. What beautiful elegant car.
Congratulations on another Continental !
Beautiful rig looks like it was a great buy, glad someone deserving now is the gardien, never knew Lincoln did a V12, I know someone who has a straight 8 Buick, but nothing like that, thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Cant wait for the cleanup! Thats a feally sharp car.
Sweet old Lincoln, maybe the last one produced before WWII change over to war production.
It is special and so Lincolnish.
Thanks.
Geez, that is awesome! I can't believe you found one of these.
That’s just so cool. Wow!
Incredible car. Straight out of a 1940s Warner Bros movie being driven by some glamorous film star. 😊
Jim! I am so happy for you and and envious at the same time! You have the 56 Mark II that makes my mouth water, and now you have the 41 Continental! 2 of some of my favorites. Can’t wait to see the videos on this one. When do you think you will show the Mark II on this channel?
Cool video guys, I saw a V-16 flathead one time that came out of a Packard, it was just sitting there, I didn't get to see it run.
Congrats on 10,000 subs, cool car look forward to see the end product
GreatVideo! That Lincoln found a good home!
Nice add to your collection Jim!
That is one cool Convertible boys! Look forward to future updates on this one.
Matt. Jim , love the show.
Congratulations on 10k subscribed. That's awesome.
Great purchase Jim. That's a solid old girl. We'll be watching.
Cheers from Ohio
I am blown away by your acquisition, James.
This is a project which I will follow, believe me.
I pray you will NOT discover the dreaded Crankshaft Whip!
A Landmark Vehicle above and beyond your White Whale
Conti that Scott has been helping you with.
Looks as if F-U-N is about to commence!
Cheers!
Dan in Bangor
It makes the Fords and Mercs look small. Nice find.
Jim always comes up with the coolest cars. Where does he find them. Wow! Wait til Scott from Cold War Motors sees it. And it runs and moves!
