Short update. Completely finished with the AC system now. Installed my new rear view mirror bracket. George has finished with my cruise control servo and I should have it back soon!
AS SHE IS. what a beautiful sight to see that Lincoln convertible pull into that garage. I don't care how much work you do, the work and projects will never end. That's why we love Lincolns, and what we do.
Howdy Vic!! Hope you have a great 4th!! With each little win, you're achieve victory in the journey to finish your project!! Big bear hugs from Kenny in Ohio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In just returned from GoodGuys show in Des Moines and I saw six Lincolns, ranging from 1962-1968 including two 62 convertibles and a 62 show car that was on display inside the main building. I have been attending that show every 4th of July weekend for more than 20 years. Most Lincolns ever, so they are gaining popularity. Kansas City to DesMoines and back plus three days of driving from motel to fairgrounds was 499.9 miles of which I averaged 11 mpg. I do have reproduction BF Goodrich bias ply tires which hurt the mileage. When I use radial tires on these early Lincolns I usually get about 13.5 mpg. Gets pricey at approx $4 for non ethanol fuel. Glad to see you got your icing switch squared away.
@@victorpalma6529 With the recommended 24 lbs of pressure it rides softer than with radials. That is the only advantage. The bias plys wear out quicker. They follow any rut in the road but not too bad. If you have to make an emergency stop or quick steering response then the radial is much better. The thing is, with a 61-63 Lincoln the huge 9:50-14 inch tire is very tall tire and cannot be duplicated with a modern radial. So for looks, the bias tire is the only way to go. Many people put 15 inch wheels on the 61-63 in order to install a 235/75/15 radial. Problem is, you cannot use the proper wheel cover.
