Henry Martin Leland is inextricably linked as the brilliant engineer who founded Cadillac. He, too, was the founder of Lincoln. Despite brilliant engineering, the cars were rather conservative in appearance and thanks to his tenacious attention to detail, late in getting to the market. After 17 months, just 3,400 had been sold. Lincoln's board of directors was quick to find a solution to mounting costs. On February 4, 1922, Ford Motor Company bought the Lincoln Motor Company for $8 million, and Leland departed just four months later.
This car was sold new in Texas. It was discovered destitute in Colorado, in 2000 (or 2001), and had been sitting outdoors and unprotected for much of the prior four decades. It was totally original, complete, and in solid condition. It has a 358 cubic-inch V8 engine that produces 80 horsepower. It sits atop a 136-inch wheelbase and when new carried a $6400 sticker price.
Little changed in 1924 for Lincoln in comparison to the prior year. The radiator shutters became vertical replacing the horizontal style. The nickel-plated drum-style headlights had been optional in 1923 but became standard in 1924. The 'Ford Detroit' lettering on the grille emblem was removed. Slight updates to the fenders could also be seen in 1924.
The body is by Brunn/Murray and is finished in its original Medium Brewster Green and Black with French Gray pin striping over an interior of brown mohair velvet (as confirmed by Lincoln production records).
925 of these cars were produced and only two are known to exist. The original price of this car was $6,400. The original Medium Brewster Green and Black with French Gray pinstripe were confirmed with lincoln production records, as was the interior material of Brown Mohair Velvet. All owners since 1924 are known. The car was originally sold new in Texas.
