Equipment
414/150hp V12, maroon wire wheels, wide whitewalls, dual sidemounts, dual windshields, luggage rack.
Condition
One of two built with this uncataloged factory body style and the only known survivor. In an earlier appearance at auction it was claimed that the first owner was entertainer Herb Shriner, but he would have been 16 years old when this Lincoln was built, and still practicing his harmonica in the barn. An excellent older restoration with some edge and body panel interference chips but otherwise, except for dated colors, an outstanding car that needs little but is showing the restoration's age. Reportedly has a $40,000 engine rebuild with new cylinder heads but done at some indeterminate time in the past..
Market commentary
The auction history of this unique surviving Lincoln KB sport phaeton is no more encouraging than its result here. It was a $95,000 no-sale at Auburn Fall in 2002, $100,000 at G. Potter King's Taj Mahal auction in 2003 and at Auburn Spring a few months later at $122,000. It resurfaced at RM's Hershey auction in 2018 where it no-saled at $90,000. It didn't do much better here where it attracted serious bidding (26 bids in all) but not enough to separate it from its owner.
