If you think about it, mixing a renowned automotive virtual artist with a father and son duo that has produced SEMA Show-worthy do-it-yourself projects has the potential to get craziness through the roof. As such, maybe the idea of a widebody 1962 Lincoln Continental isn't too bonkers at all. But it sure looks great.
Brad DeBerti is a professional race car driver, TV personality, and custom car builder. Braid is said to have been raised in a garage and built one-off vehicles for most of his life alongside his dad. That would be Doug DeBerti, a man who was raised in a family of six used to hardship. As such, he made most of his toys for himself and the ones around him, then turned to custom bikes with his grandpa and graduated to "creating and innovating vehicles/accessories my whole (adult) life."
Doug and Brad have been responsible for many SEMA Show-worthy ideas, including stuff like a NASCAR V8-powered Toyota Tacoma 'TRD' drift truck, a six-wheeled slammed Chevy C10, or an 850-hp 1961 Ford Econoline, among many others. However, their latest idea needed some styling input from someone who knows how to 'see' modified vehicles before they become a reality.
As such, after using "1,000 rolls of brown tape, 69 rolls of duct tape, 1,200 cardboard boxes, and a lot of patience," they embarked on their latest project – the "world's first" widebody 1962 Lincoln Continental. The pair also said they don't need "expensive CAD or expensive tools to create different unique things." After six hours of ensemble work, they made it look quite unlike any other Lincoln Continental out there – as you can see in the short video embedded below.
However, not all reactions were positive, to put it mildly, and Brad decided that it was best to show how they were not going to "ruin, destroy, or hurt" this car. That's where Al Yasid came into the game, as the pixel master has a way of making these rendering-to-reality projects truly come to life – even if only virtually for the time being. This CGI expert is no stranger to wacky projects – both wishful thinking and eventually reaching the real world thanks to custom fabricators and DIY builders. As such, let's trust the trio that this 1962 Lincoln Continental is in good hands – both virtually and in the real world.
In the meantime, if you don't know who Yasid is, we suggest a quick crash course of learning about his mastery – sift through his archives and notice the 'facelifted' Toyota GR Supra that screams carbon fiber and lacks many body panels. However, it's also a slammed widebody monster. Or, if you want something 'retro,' maybe the twin-turbo Nissan 300ZXX restomod reveals itself as a completely different type of 'breadvan.'
