Here is a concept that is right of the Batmobile even though the color pattern is vividly different and the styling is just a bit tweaked. While The Dark Knight would not really parade in something that fits the color scheme of the Phantom, this surely is a brilliant vehicle in which you store a world-class scooter in a awesome car and allow it to pop out when you desire! The DECO LINER 1939 Lincoln Sedan Delivery took three years to build and is the realization of a dream owner Terry Cook of Long Valley, NJ has had since 1999.
Cook conceived the concept of tucking a ‘92 Harley Sportster inside the delivery after designing the car’s body shape with artist Frank Nicholas of Illinois. It required the use of a front-wheel drive platform to eliminate the rear differential so a minimum height rear floor could be attained to house a 39.5 inch tall motorcycle. Because a low cross member was required for a 9-foot long ramp holding a lowered bike to fit inside, for rear suspension.
The unique front-wheel drive chassis was designed by Gary Brown, who owns the firm that did the majority of the construction of the car. Starting with a new Deco Rides fiberglass Zephyr sedan delivery body, the car and bike was finished for the 2008 summer season in a six month marathon thrash by Gary and Dylan Brown and Robert Winningham of Brown’s Metal Moulds in Indianapolis.
Cook feels this car presents two new concepts to the rodding world. He insists it is not about the bike, it is about the concept of the bike in the car. The second is the decorative metal trim. Actually this is not a new concept as mid-30’s Paris coach built cars used ornate metal trim. One has to totally agree with his view and admire his work for the sheer audacity of it. Simply vivacious!!
