It covers a lot of appearance items, but is not guaranteed to have everything.

If you are a club member and you have your directory, give Charlie Blais a call.

Jordan,
I wouldn't worry yet; I got my authenticity manual about 8 months ago, so I can't remember exactly how long it took to arrive, but I'm pretty sure it was more like 6-8 weeks from when I sent my check in to when it arrived. It took WAY longer than that for the thing to get completed. I joined LCOC in 2001 after I got my project car; at that time, it was supposed to be released in the fall (of 2001). It finally arrived early in 2009, so again, I wouldn't worry about the wait you're having right now - it could be way worse!
However, I will say that I don't think you'll be disappointed with this manual. It has already been very useful to me, even though I am not making a show car per se.
Good luck!

Re: Updated: '61-63 Authenticity manual: Ready for order!
Hello to all the lincoln lovers...just a quick question. Im trying to get an authenticity manual for my 61 convertible. I have sent in the money order to charles blais over a month ago, and no manual has showed up. I called him and he got back to me over a week ago and said it was on its way. Hmmm A week later I still dont see it and Im not getting a response back from charles. Nothing against charles or anyone else involved , but I would like the manual that I paid for. Any suggestions on how to get one or get this thing resolved? Im just trying to get this car back together

If he sent it media mail, give it two weeks.

Re: Updated: '61-63 Authenticity manual: Ready for order!
Dan,
I don't think I noticed the difference between the 1961 vs 1962-63 convertible's second (maybe third as well) top bow height, listed in the authenticity manual - unless I missed it. The 1961's top was more bowed up in the center, sort of bubbletop looking, which I always liked since it contrasted with the horizontal lines of the body. The 1962-63's top was more flat to mimic the sedan. I believe that this change was mentioned in the 1962 new car literature.

There could be mistakes in the manual. I haven't read it and unfortunately, I wouldn't know what is right and wrong.

Re: Updated: '61-63 Authenticity manual: Ready for order!
I think I am correct. I remember noticing the difference in the mid 1960s when in High School. I liked the bubbled up look of the 1961s beter than the flat look of the '62-'63s. If you look close at side view photos of '61s vs '62-'63s, you will see the difference. It would be interesting to measure the top bow of two cars side be side and/or to find out exactly what was changed to alter the look. I sort of thought this was general knowledge, but mabe not.
Thanks,
Bill

Re: Updated: '61-63 Authenticity manual: Ready for order!
Anybody know if Charlie Blais is still doing this?
I sent a check with my request for a manual a couple of months ago and still nothing.
I called his number from the Directory, and left a message, but no response???

I think his email is published in the directory. Try that. Otherwise, Charlie could be out of town, but two months is a bit long. Please be patient. You can try calling our President, Mr. Kramer, and maybe he can call Charlie with a "nudge".

Re: Updated: '61-63 Authenticity manual: Ready for order!
A quick note:
I finally measured the height of a 1963 convertible top so as to compare it to my 1961.
I held a straight edge under the top side rails (drivers side to passenger side) and right under the first top bow back from the header. I measured from the top of the straight edge to the bottom of the bow.
Results:
1961 measured 6 inches
1963 measured 5 1/4 inches (the 1962 will also be 5 1/4 inches)
Hence, the 1961 tops are 3/4 inches taller at the first bow than the 1962-63.
(second bow back is the same for the 3 yrs)
