1955 Lincoln Indianapolis by Boano

Acquired from a Boston-area owner; vehicle sat without restoration throughout his tenure until 1972.

Multiple short-term owners on the US East Coast during this transitional period before the car reached Thomas Kerr.

Car was shipped to the US after the Turin show and consigned directly to him rather than to Ford Motor Company; subsequent history in his hands is undocumented.

Persistent informal accounts suggest Henry Ford II gave the car to the actor; this ownership segment is unverified.

Car was reportedly displayed in Boston during this period and suffered interior damage.

Collected some parts from prior owners and stored the unrestored car for roughly two decades while prioritising his 1930s Packard collection; eventually commissioned a full restoration.

Subsequent custodians who entered the car in major concours events including Pebble Beach 2013, where it received the Lincoln Trophy.

Car was created specifically for display at this show; it drew significant attention and was featured on the cover of a major automotive magazine shortly after.

First major public appearance following a multi-year restoration; car also completed the Tour d'Elegance.

Lincoln was the featured marque that year, making the award particularly notable; car again completed the tour.

Specific year not stated; car received recognition following its 2001 Pebble Beach debut.

Comprehensive two-year restoration undertaken to return the car to the standard Gian Paolo Boano would have achieved in 1955 given adequate time. Work included rebuilding the instruments and power steering — originally non-operational — to full working condition, and refinishing the bodywork in the original vivid orange with the period checkered interior.

The restoration was documented in a feature article by Beverly Rae Kimes published in Automobile Quarterly, Vol. 41, No. 3. Cox was commissioned by Thomas Kerr.
