There were minor changes for the Lincoln Model L in 1930, as the company was devoting their resources to the Lincoln Model K, which was set to appear in 1931. In many ways, the Model L was unchanged from the prior year. Noticeable changes were a painted bumper which now matched the body color. The drop tops were given a natural canvas tops and spare wheel covers gave the vehicle a modern appearance.

For 1930, Lincoln produced 4356 cars with twenty models to choose from.

Under the bonnet was a 384.8 cubic-inch L-head V8 engine that had three main bearings and Stromberg carburetors. it was capable of producing 90 horsepower. There was a three-speed sliding gear transmission and four-wheel mechanical drum brakes. All Lincolns, in 1930, were given four wheel brakes. Top speed was achieved at 80 mph with fuel consumption of 12 miles per gallon.

This 1930 Lincoln Model L Sport Phaeton was offered for sale at the 2007 RM Auctions held in Amelia Island, Florida where it was estimated to sell between $100,000 - $125,000. This model, known as a Model 176A, has four doors and seating for four. Only 53 of these Sport Phaetons were built in 1930 and sold for around $5,000, a considerable cost at the time.

This car is finished in gray and black with a tan top. A restoration was undertaken in 1990 and constructed to original, like new conditions. The Lincoln was judged 99 points and given a CCCA Senior award. It won Best in Class at the Lincoln Owners Club Annual National Meet.

A mechanical restoration was commissioned in 2005 and took part in the CCCA Grand Experience at Hickory Corners, MI a year later. It completed the 90 mile tour and was awarded a Class Award.

At auction, the estimated value was accurate and the vehicle was sold for $118,800.
