1930 Lincoln Model L Navigation
There were minor changes for the Lincoln Model L in 1930, as the company was devoting its 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 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 the auction, the estimated value was accurate and the vehicle was sold for $118,800.By Daniel Vaughan | Mar 2007
