A post war dual cowl pharton

In an old movie I enjoyed earlier today I saw a 1950s dual cowl phaeton that I didn’t recognize and I’m digging to identify it. It looked like a chrysler

Maybe this?

Dual cowl phaetons were from an earlier era… 20s and 30s and maybe 40s. I was curious about a 50s era version and the 50s styling that would not seem to work with a dual cowl. Leave it to Virgil Exner to make it work… brilliantly, I might add.

The car caught my attention as soon as I saw the rear windshield. BTW did Lincoln build a post war dual cowl phaeton?

No Lincoln dual cowl phaeton that I could find past the 1930s Lincoln K.

But I think I know where your mind went… The 1962 Lincoln 4 door convertible as a dual cowl! Add a foot in the middle and a windshield and you have it!

I looked at quite a few online and didn’t find a custom-built one.

Good find, @Mustangman . I was trying to remember any post war dual cowl phaetons. I remember seeing ones like this when my dad would take us to antique car shows:

My taste in automobiles has seemed to lean toward the understated elegance of some pre war luxury models. But that Chrysler caught my eye despite it’s being post war. Maybe co-staring with Paul Newman in a Tennessee Williams movie had some influence on me though.

Incidentally, NYC still owns–and uses–that car on special occasions. Here is an article from a couple of years ago, showing its interior and the old Hemi V8.
