I meant 12. Sorry.

Dude, flathead Lincolns of the day were 16 cylinders.

@pdxracefan Never, never made a 16 cyl. Lincoln. I was the club historian for the Northern Cal. Classic Car Club of America for 10 years. Ed Leal, sorry all 12s.

Of course the story is at least embelished. But the car was real. Charley Ryan actually had a model A coupe with a 12 cylinder motor.

@CamarilloBB Wow! Didn't know that! Thanks for commenting!

[edwardlealsr1946]

@CamarilloBB There was a story about this on T.V. in the 70s. I remember a guy named Charley in Redwood City, Ca. that had a 32 2 dr. sedan with a stock V-12 Lincoln, fender-less and track roadster grill shell. Very interesting because a flat-

head V-8 could usually beat them. It's all good though. What nostalga!

You'll notice this hot rod Lincoln has twelve cylinders. Most of the other versions have only eight.

At Big Daddy Don Garlits' museum South of Ocala FL is a flat head twelve cylinder in a model T roadster. Wow! What a ride!
