Hmm, it says P-52 Mustang in the picture of the plaque describing the car. Looks like someone messed up
SEMA: P-32 “Street Fighter” Lincoln Hot Rod
Written By: Reilly
Walking the show floor at SEMA, one comes across many potential best-of-the-show moments. “Look at this!” might be the most overused quote of the day. This Chip Foose-designed Lincoln V-12 hot rod qualifies for a best-of-show award in our book. It was first seen at Autorama, where a few people weighed in on the car’s design. We tend to disagree with those who say it wasn’t Foosed enough.
The P-32 “Street Fighter” is inspired by World War II fighter planes and features a 1942 Lincoln Zephyr V-12 engine.
The aerothemed hot rod has a bullet-nose and exhaust pipes for its V-12, a nice homage to the exhaust pipes from a P-52 Mustang. The interior is finished in olive drab to mimic zinc chromate military coatings. It also has authentic bomber seats, exposed rivets, a Zephyr center gauge cluster, and gas tanks formed to resemble drop bombs.
We love it.

Yeah, a pretty obvious place for that little flub. The P-51 is the Mustang. A quick bit of Googling didn’t turn up a P-52 (or P52).

Now this is rod I would love to do!! I was just day-dreaming of the kind of rod I would like to build —& here it is!! Never mind the P-52/51 flub (should do your homework though!) -this car has the character of the fabled NAA Mustang. As an airport kid I got to play fighter pilot in the cockpit of one that was damaged & parked behind the hangars & never forgot it. Love that V-12 snarl! Now how about someone doing up a rod with a P&W R-4360 or Wright R-3350 turbo-compound up front?!
