This Lincoln Model K Touring by Willoughby was built for Russell Leffingwell, chairman of the board of J.P. Morgan & Company, who used it for travel to his summer house on Lake George in upstate New York. During the mid-1940s, the car was sold by the family to the late Curtis Blake, co-founder of Friendly's and an avid automobile collector. Blake in turn sold the car in the late 1950s or early 1960s to Mr. Sam Kingston's grandfather, having been a neighbor to the Leffingwells at Oyster Bay, Long Island. Mr. Kingston then inherited the car in 1998 and sold it to Mr. Ruger in 2018.
Mr. Kingston refinished the car in 2001 or 2002 with new leather upholstery and top, new chrome, and a new wiring harness. A rebuild of the mechanical components was entrusted to Fran Roxas, at a reported cost of $40,000.
