1930 Lincoln Model L Sport Phaeton

This 1930 Lincoln Model L mirrored its 1929 predecessor almost exactly, which perhaps most notably to the eye had a higher, narrower and slightly more square radiator shell. This particular Model L carries a four-door four-passenger Sport Phaeton body (Type 176A), which also debuted in 1929. Most Lincolns came well equipped and most carried side-mounted spares, but this Sport Phaeton has dual-mounted rear spares, which gives the car a longer, more dashing look. This Sport Phaeton was originally sent to California, and it was later owned for a time by Lincoln advocate Jack Passey. It eventually made its way to George Townsend, who restored it to a very high standard. The current owners purchased it in 2008, and worked with Passey to make certain the car was absolutely as close as possible to its original state.
