THE LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY
The Lincoln Motor Company had been founded in 1917 by the great engineer Henry
M. Leland and his son Wilfred. After the Great War, Leland's first Lincoln was
superbly engineered and built. Introduced in 1921, it was powered by a 358ci
L-head, 60°, V-8 engine. Post-WWI recession and an erroneous 4.5 million-dollar
tax bill spelled the end of Lincoln, and it was bought out of receivership in
1922 by none other than Henry Ford to balance the success of the bare bones
Model T with the best-engineered and best-built luxury automobile in America.
Ford put his son Edsel, who had an innate sense of style, grace, balance and
proportion, in charge of Lincoln and the automobiles soon began to reflect
Edsel's vision.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
This elegant 1930 Lincoln Model L is one of just 100 produced wearing this
sporty LeBaron Convertible Roadster body style, denoted as the Model 185.
Priced at an exorbitant $6,900 when new, the Model 185 Lincoln boasts refined,
sweeping curves, a hidden rumble seat, dual side-mounted spare wheels, a
classic upright windshield and, crucially, a Convertible top that folds neatly
behind the two-seat cockpit, offering disappearing top Roadster-like good looks
with Convertible practicality.
According to the Lincoln Automobile Record written by The Henry Ford museum,
car number 64277 was assembled new on June 10th of 1930 with production number
64536 and crankcase number 71. The body was the style number 185, with body
number 15-94, and was finished in black with trim 2446. Today, the athletic
body is painted in two-tone grey and black, with contrasting brown interior.
The well-performed older restoration of this Roadster makes it a lovely example
of America's Pre-war styling prowess and creativity.
