This is my great uncle dressed for a parade as Abe Lincoln . I can only guess the year was in maybe 30's to 40's by car . As no one put year on photo .
Since the Movie was out now Abe Lincoln I thought I would share this photo :-) He made a good impression of him on photo . The suit appears to be old and a few moth holes in it I suspect it is an original suit for the style of it .

hello manikin very cool photo, i love it , im thinking that the car is 1930's:)
He's a very good lookin Abe!
yes he is :) i agree with David:)
Thank you Sean I was thinking 30's also :-) xo
Hi Bro I wish the photo was not scratched on face but so many of the photo's were just dumped in a box years ago . But he did make a good Abe . But I won't say if he was honest LOL I never met him . Happy Birthday Walksoft and many many more !
That is a 1939/40 Ford 2-door Sedan.
so im half right lol:)
yes i think so still :) xoxox
your very welcome Manikin:)
Thanks Sis, there better be many many more :-)
Oh there will be lots more :-)))))))))))))) xox0
Thank you vontrike and mustang :-)
Thank you packrat and have a Merry Christmas !!
He does look alot like Abraham Lincoln. Merry Christmas Manikin :)
Manikin,
Thank you very much, I wish you and your family a wonderful Christmas & New Year also.
Give me a bigger picture?
email me at manikin1234@aol.com Filmnet I can email original scan
Thank you official and filmnet :-)
Thank you bratjjd and Merry Christmas to you !!!!!!!
great photo! I'm guessing the car is a 1940 Ford Deluxe
Mani, he really looks the part, simply amazing, thanks for sharing, LOVE it!! :-)
make that a 1939 Ford after closer look at the tail lights
I only see one door handle showing on the passenger side, that would make this car a two door sedan. The 1939-40 Fords had "suicide doors", a four door sedan would have two handles showing across from each other.
I agree with TallCakes, this is a 1939 Ford. Very neat photo of your great uncle. Do you know if his beard is real?
Thank you mmrmaj :-)
Oh and yes I believe it was real beard
Season's Greetings to you and Yours, Manikin!
Charming photo! I bet he had a grand old time in this ensemble! : )
Great family photo keepsake Mani!
I had a 1939 Ford coupe with the same teardrop tail lights and the split rear window. Great photo of your uncle.
Filmnet Thank you for enlarged Car . Filmnet was kind enough to enlarge car to ID it . Thank you so much !!!!!!!!!!
Thank you ttom ,wolcott,MiKKo,vetraio50 ,Hunter ,pw-collector ,packrat,official ,Kerry ,and Phil ! I appreciate you all stopping to enjoy the photo and now car is enlarged to see better . xoxo to all of you

Filmnet my scanner won't set at a higher resolution it is old . But I sure appreciate the enlarging since I can't do that either :-)
Thank you musikchoo :-) Your a Hit on your song :-)
It is really nice to see the chat between collectors, like the pic too. Just saw the Movie last week and enjoyed it.
Thank you Carson :-) yes we do chat and we have a good time as well as share knowledge . Hope to see more of your collection soon on CW :-)
Cool picture Mani! Was your great uncle...you know...alright? lol... Oh, sorry.... I just re-read it... He was dressed that way for a parade....wink wink, nod nod.......
Thank you toolate :-) lol no he didn't think he was really Abe and walk around like that everyday that I know of ? Of coarse who knows I never saw him as he was long gone when I came along in life .
Thank you pops :-))))))
