A friend’s father purchased this 1940 Lincoln cabriolet in 1990 and worked on restoring it until he got sick in 2016.

In that time the v-12 and transmission were rebuilt, wheels, brakes and dash were meticulously restored, all the chrome was redone and an amazing amount of pristine parts were collected.

the doors, fenders and hood are mint, the body has a couple small spots that still need to be fixed.

also I’ve included pictures of the ledger that he kept of literally every cent he put into this car including the 18k he paid for the car initially. By the time he passed he had almost 40k in it.

They only made 350 cabriolets in 1940

please let me know if you have any questions or need more pictures
