This Lincoln was sold new in San Fransisco and was owned by the original owner until the mid 1970’s when George Barris purchased the Lincoln and then sold it to his lead painter (Roy “Tubs” Johnson) of “Barris Kustom Industries”. Roy was an automotive painter from Detroit Michigan who began working with George Barris and the early 1960’s. Roy was one of the original five men crew who helped George build the first 1966 Batmobile and was in charge of the painting aspects of the Batmobile project. Roy stayed working with George all the way until his death in 1990, he was known for extremely high quality paint jobs that could be performed in a very short amount of time.

om Lincoln

Lincoln, ofta betraktat som mer än bara en lyxigare variant av Ford, har skapat sin egen nisch i bilvärlden med en rik historia och en uppsättning distinkta modeller. Låt oss ta en promenad ner längs minnesgatan i Lincolns historia.

Tidiga början:

Grundat år 1917 av Henry Leland, mannen bakom Cadillac-märket, började Lincoln ursprungligen som ett lyxbilföretag. Märket fick snabbt rykte om sig för sitt högkvalitativa hantverk och uppmärksamhet för detaljer.

Ford-eran:

År 1922 förvärvades Lincoln av Ford Motor Company, och det markerade början på ett långt samarbete. Ford ville positionera Lincoln som sin lyxdivision och konkurrera med andra prestigefyllda varumärken på marknaden.

Klassiska modeller:

Genom åren har Lincoln introducerat flera ikoniska modeller som har lämnat ett varaktigt intryck på bilvärlden:

Lincoln Continental: Lanserad på 1940-talet blev Continental omedelbart en klassiker. Dess eleganta design och ikoniska självmördardörrar gjorde den till en symbol för lyx och sofistikering.
Lincoln Town Car: Introducerad på 1980-talet blev Town Car synonymt med chaufförsdriven lyx. Dess rymliga interiör och behagliga åktur gjorde den till en favorit bland företagsledare och dignitärer.
Lincoln Navigator: Sent på 90-talet såg vi en ökande popularitet för SUV:er, och Lincoln svarade snabbt med Navigator. En fullstor lyx-SUV kombinerade Navigator praktiskt användande med lyx och blev ett populärt val bland förmögna familjer.
