PICS: A '49 Lincoln Club Coupe that originally caught my eye due to the deep paint color, but it looked a bit fat and dumpy to me.......

Topic starter  

so I did some photo editing just to see what it might look like in different styles.

As found:

49 Lincoln Club Coupe   Custom   PSx (1)

Lowered, with changes to body and bumpers:

49 Lincoln Club Coupe   Custom   PSx (3)

B pillar removed, slightly chopped and sectioned:

49 Lincoln Club Coupe   Custom   PSx (4b)

Shortened roofline:

49 Lincoln Club Coupe   Custom   PSx (5a)

Roofline shortened to two-seat coupe length:

49 Lincoln Club Coupe   Custom   PSx (6a)

This is not a car that I would normally customize due to its bulky, heavy-bumper profile. But, with some bumper lightening and body slimming, the appearance changes a good deal. 

Your views and comments are welcome.

Enjoy!

This era Lincoln doesn't appeal to me at all but I prefer your second pic.
