Equipment
The third Lincoln built after its acquisition by Ford, owned until 1962 by the family of the original owner, William A. Lucking who was Ford's attorney and has had just two owners since then. It still has its Leland Built badges.
Condition
Aside from a good older repaint in the original colors and new leather on the front seat it is completely original, in exceptional condition and runs and drives like new. The typically Lincoln frumpy aluminum body by Lang is delightfully detailed with nickel trim, opening windshield, sun visor, electrical intercom, bud vases, rollup divider, smokers kits and window shades.
Market commentary
Sold at the Branson auction in April 2002 for $21,000. There is a lot of important Detroit history in this Lincoln, a car that deserves wider exposure and recognition. It brought a reasonable price here today but is an inherently good value for its quality, frumpy elegance, and history.
