Hi All, Watching the TV "Lincoln Lawyer" series with my wife and he's driving a '63 vert....... or maybe a '62....... not sure. But it inspired me. So last night I went for a midnight ride. Thirty mile loop. It was a warm night and cruising at forty-five on an empty road with the windows d...

Your paint code letter is T which in 1961 was Honey Beige (not sure if they changed it like they did in later years) but from the photo you included, your '63 appears to be that color. Original paint?? Looks great, by the way.

Thanks, Mark! Duly recorded in my Parts Source List

Great trip reports accompanied by great photos, Stu. And what would a cross country road trip be without a loyal partner by your side and a few mechanical hiccups along the way. Many of us wish we were doing the same thing. Looks like you found the "right" old-timer at the right time - som...

Man, big price tag bid for this car with still four days left in the auction. During the crazy period of rapid inflation (and profiteering) that we are now experiencing, our Lincolns are looking like as good a hedge as anything else.

Whoops, forgot to answer the question as to whether it had been necessary to send my old visors to Newstalgiaparts.com. Answer is NO

unopened till now.jpg Hi Guys - Sorry, just saw these two posts now. I am going to try to upload some photos of the visors I received. Hope I do it correctly. Fingers crossed I want you to know that up until this moment........ I hadn't removed them from the clear plastic! If the photos don't uploa...

Wayne is definitely the Tool Man. It seems to me that every car I've ever owned has manifested troubling noises of one kind or another including my current '61 Lincoln. It's last noise turned out to be an almost invisible break in the left, rear exhaust pipe hanger. But that pictured diagnostic tool...

What this???? NO PICTURES TODAY??? Not even a photo of the desert through the windshield ? Even that would have been enough to feed my habit. C'mon Robin,... Punch him in the shoulder.

Congrats!

You've sure hung in there and done a pile of work to get her to this point. Looks good.

Museum creep doesn't begin to describe your style

What a journey!

Gauges in the engine bay................ priceless - so cool

Stu, no way I'm ever gonna get sick of those iconic Route 66 photos, the trip I've always dreamed about. Great adventure, very Stu-like. Guess there's only two horses left in the mileage challenge again this year and since at the moment Tony is troubleshooting some mechanical work - the advantage is...

Since gas mileage has been mentioned. How far in everyone's opinion, should I be able to drive on a full tank? Thanks, Rick

Following along with much interest. GO STU!!

Rick

Fraser, I think you're gonna find a bunch of guys are tied with you for the low mileage total ........ but the tiebreaker in your case is 47 years . Nobody is going to come close to catching you. Tony, congrats on your long haul down to Florida and back again in a slab side. 6,956 miles is a big num...
