1929 Lincoln Model L Sport Touring

This 1929 Lincoln Model L Seven-Passenger Touring is powered by a 385 cubic-inch L-head V-8 engine fitted with a single Holley carburetor and delivering 90 horsepower at 2,800 RPM. There is a three-speed manual transmission, a leaf spring suspension, and four-wheel mechanical drum brakes.

This Lincoln was built in the final production year for the Model L, and the last of the pre-Ford engineered Lincolns. Atop the polished nickel-plated radiator with thermostatically-controlled automatic louvers is Lincoln's once-signature leaping greyhound hood mascot. There are dual, covered spare tires, full fenders, and continuous running boards. The interior houses a comprehensively equipped dashboard including an odometer, speedometer, trip meter, ammeter, coolant temp, oil pressure, and fuel level gauges. The padded leather rear seat accommodates up to three passengers and there is a pair of occasional use jumpseats that fold up and out of the way against the second, middle cowl.
