Had an Idea
I just thought it would be cool if someone made a 50's Lincoln pickup. You'd really make people take a second glance. It would require custom emblems, Lincoln engine and transmission but you could have a L-100. It's sounds a little International-ly but would be neat if it was done up in period correct specs.

neat idea, but i'd be thinking a late '70's powertrain, something like a 460/auto from a lincoln mark series... somehow incorporate the flip up headlights into it, but then i guess it wouldn't be looking 50's anymore...

didnt lincoln have a straight flathead 8? or was it a flatty 10? that is a pretty damn cool idea. do it super elegant and high class. super fancy interior, those huge hubcaps, just really super fancy. that would be nice.

You've got yourself quite the idea there.Let us know how it works out! 
How many and when were the v12's made??? I remember hearing about them, but that's all I know about them. Was it Lincoln or Caddy (sorry) that made the v16???
