For The Love Of Lincoln
I love chrome, partly because I love old American luxury cars. They were glamorous, huge, and had miles of chrome, especially in their grills and massive bumpers.
So, when I visited a car show recently and saw this stunning Opal Blue Green 1948 Lincoln Continental coupe, my smile grew ten-fold as I stood there reflecting on and into all those shiny, beautiful shapes. I knew then that I had to paint its portrait.
The 1948 Lincoln Continental was a true symbol of luxury and legacy. This iconic vehicle represents a sophisticated lifestyle unparalleled by cars of its day. From 1946 through 1948, the Lincolns were the only post-war American car produced with a V-12 engine. The 292 ci Flathead V-12 produces 125 horsepower.
