- We are ending off 2023 with one of our wildest adventures for the year, breaking Matt's rule for cold weather, but it's going to be worth it. We are in Flemington, NJ to rescue a 1941 Lincoln Continental, a 1939 Ford Coupe and dig through a garage full of parts. The gentleman that owned all of this has been living here for the last 40 years, in a small apartment in the back of the garage. Both cars appear to be well taken care of and will hopefully not fight us coming out of the garage. Once both of the cars loaded, we have a ton of boxes to dig through, looking for useable parts!!

That ‘39 is a rolling piece of art deco artwork!
That's exactly what I was thinking can you say extra cool❤❤❤❤
it's whats called a "business coupe", the cab is shorter, it has no back seat and a larger trunk as you can see, 39 I believe still had the floor shifter too, 40 went to three on the tree
Ford has the original records of every '41 Lincoln Continental built. For a fee you can get a copy showing when it was built and accessories added, as well where it was shipped to.
You are exactly right. You're a records on every car because every one was hand built one at a time.
That guy who lived in the garage, is from my generation, a “Boomer.” A lot of us took the time to appreciate what our parent’s generation created and made the choice to preserve some of it. Matt, you and a lot of your generation, has picked up the baton and keeping these classics, in the race.
Agreed!
Wish I was young & healthy so I could work on old vehicles again
I'm still blown away of all the early rolling iron that is still out there buried away in peoples garages, barns and sheds. Thanks for taking us along ITG. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone from Al and Janet in East Stroudsburg Pa.
You know it! I am amazed at the gold mines still waiting to be discovered. I found mine stashed in a barn for several decades and left undisturbed probably because the property had been kept in the family.
Someone will be able to do that when I die barns containers and sheds😢
@@SteveOverman-ou3my I will likely sell everything before I decide it's my time
Right now I do have some collectables but lost all passion for them
I could only imagine what was overlooked in that garage.❤❤❤❤❤
WOW, the Lincoln may be the pick of the year!
Great find! Especially the 1941 Lincoln Continental V12 Cabriolet. Both cars are very well worth saving.
Thanks for coming out and saving the ol girls fellas. Means alot to us. Happy Holidays Prost!
Did you try and auction those cars off first? Or just take the first offer that came your way?
No auction needed for it was not all about the money. Getting the girls saved from inevitable demise and ITG was our best choice.
Pulling old treasures out of barns? It just doesn't get any better than this. To see those cars back on the road will be thrilling, can't wait for you next video! I do feel bad for the gentleman who has to give this up. It would not be easy.
That is such a rare find. I absolutely love that body style.
The 40 was the original. It's Edsel Ford designed it for his wife had a delivery to West Palm Beach.
And when all their friends saw it, they all wanted one. That was the start of the lincoln continental brand
Happy holidays to all the Iron Trappers, Matt, Mike, Steve and Moon, and thanks for another great year of videos.
The Zeph is an amazing car. Can’t let it rust away! A buddy of mine has 4 in his museum and they are my fav aside from a couple of pierce arrows
It makes one feel happy to see not only were these jewels kept inside, but that somebody these days wants to make them roadworthy again and not chop them up.
That 39 looks solid !!! Nice haul.
Great finds. The 39 Ford looks like it is in remarkable original condition, and very complete and unmolested. I hope the engine and driveline are ok, and you have it on the road soon. The Lincoln also looks complete. It needs more help, but will be worth it. I've had my 48 Ford Super Deluxe since 1971, with it's original 59 AB engine, and enjoy the channel. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Matt and Mike, I just have to let you know how much your posts mean to me and I'm sure to many other 85 year old has- beens and never-weres like myself. I am elated by this particular post but Ive been following you guys for more than two years now. Merry Chistmas. You guys have made my day.👍👍👍
Thanks so much for following along!
I am 73 years old but when I was a kid at Williams Bay WI everyone was still driving these old cars! In Arizona, we all had old cars due to these lasting a long long time in the desert.
It's sad to see folks rummaging thru a man's life. I wish I could have known this gentleman, definitely my kind of people as I too live in an organized chaos, though not nearly as extreme. This place really reminds me of my brother's place before he passed, he was a major influence in my life. Glad to see you folks rescue these 2 gems to finally bring them back to life after all these years. That Lincoln is especially cool. Too bad you couldn't snag the MG as well... another really cool car.
Another person saved the MG when we were there. So it isn’t left behind
Amazing how he semi organized his stash, not just piles upon piles of stuff.
Agreed. While the building was deteriorating it was well organized. True “organized chaos” and he knew where everything was.
My uncle was that way. It was neatly organized, but when he died a few years ago, everything was there. For example, he had every pay stub from before he went into the Navy, back in 1950.
He worked very hard for a long time.
You got a Lincoln Zephyr V-12. Thats a big score!!!!!!! Better keep that car!!!!
I don't know if I agree. That's not a hot rod or the purpose of the show. More of a classic original car I think.😮😮
Its still a Zephyr!!!!!!!
@@user-dv5id9ck9z It definitely is anybody's collectible. But it does not fit the hot rod world. In my opinion
Not a Zephyr
Those cars must be restored as they were born ,they're jewel of the ancient engineering,and I'd like to see those marvelous cars after their restoration!
A car buddy owned a 41 Continental Convertible with polished heads, the most gorgeous engine compartment ever.
Oh wow I bet that was beautiful!
I restored a 39 ragtop in 1995 that was found in a field with a tree growing up through the floor. At the time I was told it was one of four in existence. It was green with a tan top and wide White Walls, It was gorgeous and correct.
It is really good to see that you young people have an eye for the nice old things, and it is super important that it is passed on to others who also have that interest. Always nice to see your videos. Merry Christmas.👍🎄🎅
I like the '39 Deluxe because the body looks to be in great shape !
Matt, You are correct in the possible year of the MG. It is a TD model made between 1950 and 1954. It's very collectible among British car enthusiasts.
53.
Thank you Matt for saving these cars, not destroying them like that hack Chad!
Love that 39, such an original car 👍 Glad they both got saved, hopefully kept original too :)
"WOW" what a great adventure, sure wished I lived in the US, so much great cool cars to get and run around in, unlike here in the UK, where they making it as hard as they can to own and drive great old cars like that, watching your great videos is like living a beautiful dream, I sure do miss the 1970's when we had the freedom to own and drive these great cars, and they were cheap to buy in those days, I owned a 1963 Dodge Dart Convertible, (slant six) a 1963 Dodge Polar convertible, with a 383 V8, a 1973 Chevrolet Malibu six pot, and a 1973 Chevrolet Monte Carlo 350 V8, I sure do miss owning one.😪
Wow..another amazing hoard of cars and parts. Good job saving what you can!
The ‘39 coupe looks to be really solid. The ‘39 and ‘40 coups were, and still are, a beautiful design. I like the ‘39 Deluxe because of its stylish sloping rear quarters, the headlights that blend with the front fenders, and, hydraulic brakes. I will watch as you put this classic on the road again.
Couldn't agree more!
I’m sure the day(s) those cars first arrived on the property were nothing but happiness and hope. They’re still going to have a chance to survive and maybe go down the road again.
Two Great Gifts for Christmas - - 1941 Lincoln Zephyr and 1939 Ford Coupe!
That's a beautiful car, hope you'll respect it
2 more beauties, but that Lincoln Zephyr! Oh my, I think I'm in love!
That convertible is amazing!
Hope you saved the broken Lincoln grilles too, I’m sure they are rare enough to be restored.
Yeah, even smashed up, I'd guess they could still be parts-doners for other grills of the same type.
Mice are a good stress test for the old cardio vascular system.
Nice cars though, glad they're being saved
What an adventure! Merry Christmas to the Irontrap crew.😊
What a score- these well preserved old cars must be running out unfortunately- so lucky you are
they made 250 hardtops and 250 convertibles my uncle has a hardtop straight 12 all original survivor all stainless is gold plated
Matt is in his glory today on this one.😊
The 39 looks like an original paint car.
Afternoon Matt!! Very cool!! I hope you're keeping this one, that Lincoln is worth what anyone is willing to pay for it!
Wow..that 39 is beautiful
What a score …! You are the man Matt … half your luck , can’t wait to see the video of the job lot you received !
We would love to see a full resto on the Lincoln.
Another BIZARRE treasure hunt! Love the 39& 41 & love the videos and what you all do. MERRY CHRISTMAS & look forward to next year!
Amazing! Your adventures just keep getting better and thanks for taking us along for the ride! Go Iron Trap, keep moving forward!
Looks like a mid sixties Cadillac Fleetwood or something of that model generation. The trunk looks like the car I drove in high school. Love the old two door Ford. ❤️❤️❤️
Merry Christmas Guys -------- Just had to play the mouse scene twice --------- Thank you all for bringing us these videos ------- and for finding these old cars and parts and for passing them on for others to get their cars back on the road -------- Keeping Them Alive ------ Have a Good Holiday ------- Rodney
Merry Christmas to all.
When I was 17 I bought a 39 Ford coupe deluxe it was a badass street rod small block Chevy. That one sure gets me dreaming
Thanks for another , Brother !
I enjoy my cars and motorcycles. I am never gonna be living in my garage like that😢. Those Old Timers are the reason this stuff is still around..RIP
That articulating lamp behind the water heater is so cool, it’s worth $200+
Happy New Year, chaps! Thanks for many hours of great videos in 2023.
I think I would at least have to have a go at that Lincoln V-12 to see if I could get it running again. Then, let it go to a reputable restorer. It appears to be in excellent condition...
That 39 looks just like one of my fathers cars. He had 36 three window greyhound also.
Great music you picked out for it.
I think the 39 coupe is a great car for a factory spec rebuild or possible a concourse job. Way too many get chopped up! Merry Christmas Iron Trap Garage
what a score. congratulations great find.
A true testament to the fact you can't take it with you...
Nice way to enjoy a Sunday morning seeing Ford's being saved. Merry Christmas All
I like this video already because its in NJ. I thought all the cool cars were gone by me. I'm surprised that 39 Ford has a column lock. My 55 Buick doesn't even have one
Merry Christmas team. Thank you for a great year. God bless you guys. Looking forward to another great year.
Merry Christmas Matt, Kate, Mike, Steve and of course, Moon.
It's just insane what you are finding!
Good morning and I will say that I wish you all a blessed day today and Happy Holidays. Most importantly Happy Christmas Eve and Have a very Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 tomorrow! Thanks for sharing this Matt.
Wow! Christmas came early! That's a really nice 39! Can't wait to see it cleamed up and running.
Great treasure finds..looking forward to seeing the cars back on the road ..very cool..
That Lincoln is in the same league as the Packard you pulled out of the old factory in Philadelphia, just wild to see something of that caliber left to rot for so long, but thats also what allowed it to stay so unmolested and original
That '39 looks like a total time-warp car. Externally, the only missing part seems to be the trim ring on the left front. I really look forward to the next vid. Original headlights!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Thank you for the great video of the Ford-hoarders horrid living conditions and his collection of cars. WOW!
Id love to see a video on the 39, what a beauty ❤
Coming soon!
Merry Christmas, Matt, Mike, Steve and Moon! Love your channel!
Parabéns vocês pelas conquistas, são verdadeiros restauradores da história, obrigado.👍😁🇧🇷
Another great fine . The 39 is going to awesome once you get back on the road. Also I want to wish you and the guys a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 👍👍😎😎
2 nice cars i dont remember ever seeing a ragtop like that one happy holiday guys great job
Very cool pick. Can't wait to see the reveal video of the parts as there were little clues. I always take a tool box on my crazy adventures like this. Weird situations always present though. All part of the fun/adventure
Merry Christmas Iron Trappers
Thanks Straight Ahead✌😎
Love the zephyr and merry christmas to Matt and mike and whole crew
Merry Christmas !! The 1941 Lincoln truly says," I got dough and you don't" even in the condition it's in now. I wouldn't be surprised if that death trap you pulled those cars from either catches fire or collapses within a short time. Terrific score and thanks for sharing. BTW: I'd like to see something of the MG roadster.
Not on this channel
The MG was sold to the new owner the day we were there. So it did get saved
😂@@IEchuckie
Love that 39 ford
Love them old scrapyards, junkyards
Merry Christmas to you and your family and crew enjoy watching what you do
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you at Iron Trap Garage !
