This is the information given to us : " 1 of only 2 examples to have been built for Lincoln by the Derham Body Company and the only known survivor. This Lincoln Prototype has been fully restored. The wheelbase was shortened 22 " and the reardoors were removed from the design. Sporting Derham badges , this example features a bench seat , a black vinyl top , powerwindows and locks and shows just over 57000 miles." A wonderful car indeed and a true eyecatcher that looks very classy , and runs and drives great. If anybody has any information regarding the history of this car we would welcome it very much.

Today
being Presidents Day, it’s only natural we turn our attention to
Lincoln, the company named for the famed president. Perhaps the most
unique Lincoln on Hemmings.com right now would be this Derham-shortened 1962 Lincoln Continental that will cross the block at the upcoming Collector Cars of Fort Lauderdale auction by Auctions America by RM. From the auction description:
1 of only 2 examples believed to have been built for Lincoln by the Derham Body Company and the only known survivor, this Lincoln Prototype has been fully restored. The wheelbase was shortened 22 and the rear doors were removed from the design. Sporting Derham badges, this example features a bench seat, a black vinyl top, power windows and locks, and shows just over 57,500 miles.- See more at: http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2011/02/21/hemmings-find-of-the-day-1962-lincoln-continental-prototype/#sthash.o9HpJnJ3.dpuf
