Lioncoln Premiere, when Lincoln cars had their own style and design department, and weren't cookie cutter fords or mercs with different nameplates

Notice the enormous running lights - turn signals in the bumpers, has to be the biggest I've ever seen on a car or truck

on the left side of the photo are the cool switch levers.. they might make a bitchin addition to a hot rod

What a big old barge, must be a great solid feeling tank of a ride.

See Tere's photos of it at: http://justacargal-s.blogspot.com/2011/04/good-guys-del-mar-lincoln.html

First cruise of the season in Escondido

Above is one of the side streets, not the main drag. Below is the duece donation grill

Tweety bird mudflaps.. yikes.

great shifter, it's in a 50's Dodge Sierra

Great centerpiece design and dash piece over the glove box. The dual ashtrays are not unique, a few cars had them, but the clock between and the radio above turned out really well

Instantly recognizeable tail light, I like that about older cars from the 60's

Hudson Terraplane dash and speedometer instrument gauge, unique in being in the center of the top of the dash

good looking design

and the shifter stalk, about the size of a normal flashlight... good looking elegant design for the 1930's. The Tucker had the same shifter

The owner of this Packard is a great guy, we talked for a while about this car, and one of the cool things about it is the way these instruments are lit. The are luminated by special lights so that the numbers glow. I can't recall what the method was that he told me, but somethign like blacklight, or UV

The buttons across the bottom of this chrome panel are easy to read if you click on the photo, and get the full size... but if you are only slightly curious... Cig Lite, Headlights, Inst Lite, Fog Lite, Map Lite, Clutch and Blower.... and I didn't see this when talking to the owner, but it has me wondering what the Clutch button is for.

Armrests at both ends of the back seat, and one in the center covered right now by the original optional seat cover

Elegant design of the seats

And Ultramatic Drive, a one year only designation and a very hard to find label

I like the red and black, it'd look great if he had it finish painted that way

A truck hood ornament

Probably not the original tools, but a good representation

great bug, talked to the owner for a while and learned quite a bit.

Great wicker shelf under the dash

The "B" sign is a city or country sign. Most all that can be found are Ds but this owner is innovative and reconfigured the D to this B, and used some great paint drying to have it appear weathered and old. D stands for Deutschland I think he said, and B for Belgium as a comment informs me

Nice hood scoop integration

I doubt anyone is using the rear doors to get in or out of this car, but they open in a most unusual way
