Lincoln : Other Woody for sale
Current customer rating: (274 votes ) based onBuilt from 1946 to 1948. the Sportsman was a wood-bodied convertible coupe. a prestige model like Ford had never seen. But it was expensive and difficult to build. and Ford was giving up wood bodies. in favor of wood motif appliqué. even on station wagons. The company mocked up a 1949 Sportsman coupe and convertible. using Country Squire-like trim. but nothing more was heard – until this car turned up.
Ostensibly a Lincoln Sportsman. it does not appear in any of the many books on Ford or Lincoln. and a search of auto show records for the period has found no reporting on it. until a feature article in an enthusiast magazine in 1987.
Regardless of its origins. it remains an essay on what a modern-day Sportsman might have been. Complete wood bodies were a thing of the past by 1955. so an appliqué is in character. as Chrysler used for the K-car-based Town & Country Convertible. It is equipped with power steering. power brakes. power windows and seat. central chassis lubrication. windshield washers. an AM radio and a heater-defroster. An accessory visor. complete with traffic light prism. has been fitted to the windshield. It has Lincoln's 341-cid overhead valve V-8 and Turbo-Drive automatic transmission.
Paint. body and brightwork are all very good. although the workmanship of the wood appliqué is not of artisanal quality. An interesting foray into what might have been. it is the center of attention wherever it goes.
