1956 Continental MKII
Look what I found my mechanic friend working on at his house! 1956 Continental! Production numbers 2994 for 56 and 57, completely handbuild rivalling Rolls Royce. 368 Lincoln Y-block motor. It was KOOL!!!!
I spent a fair amount of time studying the exhaust manifolds. They were stainless, basically similar to other Ys, rising up close to the level of the aluminum rocker covers. Exit was at the rear, pipe turned through the inner fender, then down and back between the frame and body panels. The design is very close to what I need to fab someday for my truck.
The pictures dont show it very well, but the Continental Coupe had lines remindful of the '56 T-birds, though generously expanded.

The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
How did you get hooked on cars?
