Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Lincoln 448 cubic inch V12 with four Strombergs, air suspension, power drum brakes, teardrop fender coachwork designed by David Holls and executed by Marcel DeLay finished by Brian Joseph, wheel covers, blackwall tires, KA chassis, KB engine.

Condition

A vision representing what might have been done had Gordon Buehrig and Edsel Ford gotten together with Bob Gregorie to put the Continental to shame. 2nd in class at Pebble Beach in 1999, toured on the Copperstate and Pebble Beach Motoring Classic. The workmanship is high quality throughout, but this is a vision, an homage, not a paradigm, and it is executed to the standards of the time.

Market commentary

A show-stopping automobile that had a constant throng of admirers perusing its curves, finish and details throughout the auction preview. It went out for a drive during the preview and it sounds great and runs like a top. The price is, simply, astounding, a credit to its concept, execution and presentation. Onlookers in the auction were stunned as the bids went up, and up, and up even more to stratospheric heights. This is an unparalleled result for an incomparable automobile.
