Recieved my historical packet from Ford today in regards to the 1940 lincoln continental cabriolet i'm in negotiation with and it did not say what state the dealer was in. build sheet was interesting and well worth $20 any help would be great! thanks!:D
 
There's a Banner Ford in Mandeville, LA, possibly they took over where Mandeville Motors left off. Doubtful they would have any old records but they may shed some light on the former dealer, who knows? It's worth a phone call.
 
Awsome! I will call tomorrow because you never know! Small town and somebody will hopefully keep the info trail fresh! thanks!
 
Deuce.......I think you can go through the Benson Ford Institute. You can go online.

yes through Bensen Ford Institute, send request first in email and if they have info then send a check for $20 and the vin numbers and description of vehicle!
 
55 ......I had a friend of mine that was looking for something on his '36 and he went to them and he was absolutely surprised as to what he was able to get from them. It was 3 or 4 years ago, but the detail was perfect.
 
The Benson Ford institute's website looks quite extensive. Is there a specific department or email address you used to submit your request. They look to big to handle a random "cold call" email effectively.
I guess the short version of all that is " who or what department specifically did you contact?"

Thanks,
T

After a little serendipitous digging I found it!
