1947 Lincoln Continental Convertible Project Car
Harry Truman Parade-Lincoln Company Demo

We purchased this with the intention of bringing it back to life. It was rumored to be President Truman's car for years then it came to auction. BOTH Cadillac and Lincoln gave Truman demos to try out and it has been widely known that he disliked the Cadillacs. I contacted the Ford Museum and had them research the Lincoln where we discovered the car was a demo in Kansas City. I then contacted the Truman Museum in Independence, MO and they had the pics of a car in his 35th Regiment reunion in KC. I have lots of other pics where he used the car all over the place in the USA. While we have documented that he used it, this was never his personal car. We researched files at the Truman museum and The Ford Museum and this car with this VIN# was a company demo used in Kansas City April of 1947. The car was originally tan showing through on all of the pics, painted over black right now. As you can see in the photos, this was the original color. He was seen in this car many times and used THIS car for about a year, gave it back and ordered a fleet of 20 Lincoln Cosmopolitans to my recollection. It was later donated to the Confederate Air Force. It all fits because the owner before us was a P-51 Pilot who lead a very interesting life. It has holes where the Confederate Air Force was riveted to both doors. He always claimed to have the "Truman Parade Car." When his estate came available at auction, I showed up and there she was. All the research and folklore on the car points that this is the car. Any way I am moving and do not have room at my new place. It is about 65% complete. No engine, transmission or seats or trim. IT's pretty solid and a cool car. Needs lots of work and lots of parts. What you see is what you get.
