A sporty, expensive, and low-production car which was purchased new by Helen Clay Frick, daughter of Henry Clay Frick. The Lincoln Motor Company was founded in 1917 by Henry M Leland, who had also established Cadillac in 1902. Widely renowned for his precision manufacturing techniques, Leland and his son Wilfred founded the Lincoln company to build Liberty Aircraft engines for World War I. However, due to the war ending soon after production began, the Lelands needed a new product for their elaborate Detroit plant. A new V-8 luxury car called a Lincoln was the answer, but production was slow, due in part to the Lelands' insistence on uncompromised quality.
The Lincoln finally appeared in late 1920 during a recession. The chassis was a masterpiece, but styling was awkward, and first-year sales on only 3,400 units left the company in financial difficulties. Henry and Edsel Ford came to the rescue in February 1922, purchasing Lincoln for $8 million. Edsel Ford became president, and soon transformed the Leland-designed chassis into one of America's most beautiful upper-echelon cars of the classic era. By 1931, most luxury car buyers were opting for the more practical closed cars; Miss Frick, however, chose the 202A Sport Phaeton of which only 77 were produced.Source - Frick Car Museum
