    thanks again for this car matters. Does anyone have the story on the Lincoln " ACE " also known as Continental Ace Deluxe? I beleive it was made only one year , 1933. I don't know if it was built by Lincoln. It had a 6 cylinder engine, and maybe the continental was a clue to engine builder Continental. thanks, JK
