This 1928 Lincoln Model L Tourer with coachwork by Locke has seating for seven passengers. Its first owner was a regent of the University of California in Berkeley. Ownership later passed to a Healdsburg dentist. Mr. Ronald Brown of Auburn was the vehicle's next owner, who purchased the car in non-running condition. The car was sold to John Derringer who performed a body-off restoration and brought it back to its former glory.
The factory outfitted this car with a performance camshaft, which was generally reserved for police cars. The downdraft inlet manifold was designed specifically for the Model L to eliminate the vapor lock and fire hazard issues with the original Stromberg updraft setup.
There is a rare bench seat in the back; most Model L's were given divided rear seats. The interior is finished in leather which is correct with the period. There are dual-side mounted spare tires, side curtains, owner's handbook, and a retractable top.
The car was on display at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in 2005, and the Palo Alto Concours in 2006. It was offered for sale at the 2006 Bonhams & Butterfields auction held at the Quail Lodge in Carmel, California where it was estimated to sell between $110,000 - $130,000. The car did find a new owner at auction, selling just below the estimated value, for $100,000.By Daniel Vaughan | May 2007
