Actually Lincolns of the 60's were never used for conversions of hearses. The only ones you will find are ones people have made in they own garage. Lehman Peterson was the only company making commercial size cars for Lincolns at this time. The 1970's saw the introduction of Lincoln hearses in post war years.

59 flower car
Walter .........
The 59 flower car you are speaking of was owned by Cris Afflick Not sure of the spelling ....
It was maple leaf metallic (deep maroon) with the dusty rose (light pink) interior ......It was at New Hope Auto show in the 70's....
Very cool .....badly rusted on the underside.... not sure if he still has it ....
I fabricated all the sheet metal to repair such a beast ....since my own car was termites holding hands ......just too big a job.

Yeah, I've seen Mr. Affleck's flower car. That was about three years ago now. It's a mess, but I think salvageable. It was not for sale at that time, and apparently there is a long waiting list to get to it if it ever is.
There was a limo for sale at the Cherry Hill meet that fits the description of your car. It was marketed along with some poor information. Interesting car, but you could build a pyramid for the labor it would take to save it.

This must be the same car I saw in Hershey about 1974. It really looked good at that time! Still looking for the pictures of it. Barry

First, sorry I missed you at the meet, Anthony. Sam later told me that you were there.
The seller has his facts all screwed up. The flyer said "Production number 38 - the last one made for Jack Kelly" (unless he is saying it is the last car made for Jack Kelly and not the last H&E made, but someone who had spoken with the seller relayed it to me as him saying the last H&E limo made - and that would be impossible anyway as 38 Lincoln's had not yet come off the line at the time his car was built). His car is production number 36, just making it the 36th 1960 Lincoln produced, not a H&E number. And beside that, if I remember correctly, there were 34 limousines produced in '60.
The highest known production number H&E I have on record is a '60 limousine - 0Y99H417097. With this one I now know of 43 H&E's in existence, eight of which I have no serial numbers for but am certain they are not redundant.
It was neat to see, though. The vent control built into the divider used '59 style knobs, proving that they used up excess inventory on the early '60 H&E cars.

The princess Car ..............
Yes Hello Walter ….I think we walked right past each other……
Made for Jack Kelly ???
That Limo may be in fact the Princess Grace Kelly car.
I found it years ago in Blackwood NJ it was running and in good shape. It had a gold factory Id Plate and the paperwork proving ownership as well…..
The car was sold to a man in Berlin NJ ….he had a Texaco Station the car was driven for a while and then disappeared again…..
The car originally resided at the Kelly’s Ocean City NJ shore home at 41st street….
FYI.
There is another 60 Limo a block away from my house …. I’m sure it can be had for a small fee ……(No… Elvis did not sit in it ) I believe the owner lost interest in it. The previous owner who has a Sunoco station primed it and was getting ready to paint it just before the sale ….this guy had several of these cars. One was painted gray with green flames , lake pipes ……. White vinyl tuck and roll seats ……………What a mess ….an old school hot rodder on crack….
I also have a friend Lee, who owns a 59 rag top that I restored many years ago and a 1960 Limo ………………..he has quite a collection of cars
There is a 1958 Coupe all black with all the options in the neighborhood ….are you out there Roy?? Last seen at the 1980 New Hope Show …..How about Jim Devlins 1959 Black Coupe what happened to that one ?? He had all the paperwork from day one …
Not sure if Jim is still around …
DID YOU SEE THE 1958 LIMO...Item number: 270134020436
Very cool .....................

Hiya Tony,
Just caught that part of your post with the Ebay number. I know of that car and thought John sold it a few years ago. Very unusual.
If you are able to get the data plate information from any of those H&E cars your run across, I'd appreciate having it. I'm certain there are more I still don't have recorded.

Re: 1960's Lincoln Hearses
There are a few 60s Lincoln Hearses around. I know nothing of their providence but I think there are more pictures in the "Freaky" Lincoln pages of this forum.
