Ray B. ◊ 2008-05-20 10:33	I think 1946.
pilou ◊ 2008-05-20 14:04	Yes , 1946 Lincoln Continental Club Coupe model 57 with the winged globe hood mascot.
G-MANN ◊ 2010-05-02 15:02	Belongs to Bugsy's friend George Raft (Joe Mantegna) -- Last edit: 2024-05-13 20:00:35 (humungus)
Tsimsi ◊ 2010-06-06 00:57	As the present owner, I can confirm the year as it was a birthday present to myself, and it is as old as I am - 1948.
Commander 57 ◊ 2010-06-06 15:54	Unquestionably a 1946 style hood ornament.
G-MANN ◊ 2011-06-01 01:41	Maybe the hood ornament isn't original.
Commander 57 ◊ 2011-06-01 02:31	Well I guess so if the information from Tsimsi is correct.
ck-be ◊ 2013-03-25 22:48	Well, either he is mistaken (Tsimsi) or we are, and we have the documents that WE OWN the 1946 Lincoln Continental used in "Bugsy" at is a 1946 in the movie along with the ppwk that the car won the Concours d'elegance in Pebble Beach in 1994 and that it is 96% original (that's almost unheard of) and that it was originally owned by Clark Gable. My step-father has owned the car since 2002 and we used in our wedding in September 2010. The car currently is stored near Milwaukee, WI. The pictures were taken in-and-around downtown as a part of a period 1940's theme wedding we had. Sorry sir, but I think you were taken advantage by a less-than-scrupulous seller!

antp ◊ 2013-03-26 17:54	Thanks for the info It is always possible that they used a second car (Tsimsi's 1948 model then?) for some shots; e.g. interiors, etc. -- Last edit: 2013-03-26 17:55:53
G-MANN ◊ 2013-03-26 18:11	Oh dear, it makes you wonder which other movie car owners we have listed on this site are also jokers. Thank you for setting us straight ck-be, much appreciated antp wrote It is always possible that they used a second car (Tsimsi's 1948 model then?) for some shots; e.g. interiors, etc. I doubt it. ck-be wrote along with the ppwk that the car won the Concours d'elegance in Pebble Beach in 1994 I didn't know what "ppwk" meant at first, then I realised - paperwork. (just so others don't get confused ) -- Last edit: 2013-03-26 18:21:30

Many seem serious and give much info, I do not think there are so many mistakes there. But indeed when we just get a message "this is my car" without much more detail, it is probably not very reliable. -- Last edit: 2013-03-26 18:29:12
G-MANN ◊ 2013-03-26 19:36	I think a number of them made very brief comments like "It this year, I know because this is my car" which anyone could say to be honest. But I know some of them seem pretty geniune. I mean, you'd would what motivation people would have to claim some not-famous car in a film is theirs (apart from the fact there always seems like plenty of idiots on the internet) but ck-be said he thinks he was a "less-than-scrupulous seller", so maybe what could happen is someone is trying to sell a similar car, adds a comment here saying they own it, in the hope a buyer will contact them. I don't think it's unheard for people selling stuff (whatever it is) to claim it was once owned by so-and-so or was once used for such-and-such. -- Last edit: 2013-03-26 19:38:49
