Continental conversion!......Sinatra salvation?

Any Lincoln fact related question can be posted here. Questions such as how many Contintenal convertibles were produced in MY1965? How much was the Town Car option in 1969? What size of tire was standard on a 1953 Premiere? or Does the Mark II retractible prototype still exist?

About 20minutes later I got the first "advisory" from the home owners association that the car didn't have tags. This went on for two more days until I was able to get the thing out of my front yard and to a storage yard. I think the only thing that saved me was the possibility that they had to send for a special tow truck.
I'm a little late getting in on this but... My wife used to live across the street from that lake view. That place is strict, and I'm surprised you managed to get 2 days with the car out front. We tried to take a quick family photo by the lake, and within 2 minutes we were surrounded by rent-a-cops. They don't allow pictures...?

Anyway, I agreed to move into that area as long as I got a garage big enough for my 63 LCC, my Harley, AND a project car. So a few months ago we bought a place in Tesoro just off Copper Hill. She gets a nice house in Valencia, I get a 3 car garage. Sounds fair.

Keep up the good work, I look forward to seeing it at some of the local cruises.

Had to bring back this thread after watching the movie "High Society".
The original pics have disappeared. KhurtG, do you still have the car? Any progress?
