Sadly, this gorgeous 1955 Lincoln Indianapolis was only a pawn
America was crazy for concept cars in the 1950s. There were fins, bubble canopies, turbine engines, wild space-age shapes, and acres of chrome, and that’s just from General Motors. On the other side of the Atlantic, the Italians were putting out futuristic concepts as well, and some independent coachbuilders put American platforms under their rolling sculptures. Some of these coachbuilders even got a contract out of it. This Italian-American exchange produced some of the most interesting and prettiest cars of the decade, including the numerous Ghia-bodied Chrysler specials.
More obscure but no less striking is the Lincoln Indianapolis by Boano. There’s only one of them, and it’s for sale; it will cross the block at RM Sotheby’s Monterey Auction.
