The Lincoln Model K replaced Henry Leland's Model L in 1931. This was the first new Lincoln model under Ford ownership. It brought fresh styling and an increase in sales. The changes continued for 1932 with the introduction of the V8-powered KA model riding on a 136-inch wheelbase. The Lincoln KB was fitted with a V-12 engine and rode on a 145-inch wheelbase. The following year, the V8 engine was dropped leaving the V-12 as the sole engine. The 382 cubic-inch unit was used to power the KA though it remained the more affordable alternative to the KB. The Model KA had similar designs to the KB but was both simpler and less expensive to produce.
For 1934, the engine displacement rose to 414 cubic-inches and the new design became the sole Lincoln power plant until 1936. It was fitted with two-barrel carburetors, four main bearings and mechanical valve lifters.
This Lincoln KA Two-Door Coupe is one of only 30 examples of the Model 522-A originally produced in 1934. The odometer reads just 67,000 actual miles and the exterior is painted in light yellow and dark brown exterior accented by a beltline treatment in brown. There are dual side-mounted spare tires with hard covers, and yellow painted wire wheels with chrome-plated hubcaps and whitewall tires. Other features include a golf bag door, rumble seat, and a driver's sideview mirror. The interior is a diamond-pattern wood grain dash and window trim, a wood grain dash panel, and an attractive brown mohair cloth upholstery with tan carpeting.
In 2009, this Sport Coupe was offered for sale at the Automobiles of Arizona auction presented by RM Auctions. The car was expected to sell for $70,000 - $95,000. As bidding came to a close the lot had been sold for the sum of $45,000.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2009
