Lincoln 1962 station wagon

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?

Interesting reading:

This highly unique Lincoln Continental is for sale by Jenkinson Concours&Customs in Escondido, California. The aluminum-top “flying brake” shaped piece is a one-of-a-kind coachbuilt car from Coachwork FLM Panelcraft in London, England. The company is famous for its unique “shooting-brake” Aston Martin DB6 and other one-off pieces from high end manufacturers such as Rolls-Royce and Bentley.

Vehicle History: the previous owners were part of the Scripps family (benefactors of the Scripps Institute of Oceanography) and, true to its license plate “1 only”, this is the only Lincoln Continental coachbuilt by FLM Panelcraft. The car was purchased from the original owners in 1973 and has not been driven in approximately 20 years. The engine of the car is inoperable and does not turn and also requires a new hood, front doors, bumper, and grill. The body of the car and the floor pan remain relatively rust free. The car does not have a title and is sold as an as-is car for parts or restoration.

Interesting. Ironically today I was just reading the Hemmings blog from Aprl 14th, and they show an even nicer Lincoln Continental station wagon. Many of the comments after the article are from readers who love how it looks, and I certainly agree:

Predecessor to the Navigator--how interesting.
