1929 Lincoln Model L

1929 Lincoln Model L Dual Cowl Sport Phaeton

  • Coachwork by Locke
  • Lincoln's founder, Henry Leland was first and foremost an engineer. As a result, early Lincolns were powerful, reliable, rugged machines that were every bit a match to competition from Cadillac, Packard, and Pierce-Arrow. But it wasn't until they came under the artistic guidance of Edsel Ford that the Model L became beautiful. Under Ford's direction coachbuilders such as Brunn, Judkins, Willoughby, Murphy and Locke provided a variety of bodies.

    This Lincoln Auto Show car features Dual Cowl Sport Phaeton Custom Coachwork with a polished aluminum body and custom leather interior by Locke Body Company of Rochester, NY. The original owners were J. Arnot and Gracia Gannett Rathbone of Elmira, New York. Locke was one of seven custom coachbuilders offered in the 1929 Lincoln line. This Automobile is unrestored with the exception of its top and a testament of Lincoln's fine quality.

    The Model L Lincoln was noted for sturdiness, speed, all-wheel brakes, and handling. They were favorites of both sides of the law. The V-8 engine has a 385 cubic-inch displacement developing 85 horsepower.

    Locke also clothed chassis from Duesenberg, Rolls-Royce, Packard and Pierce-Arrow as well as Lincoln; its bodies were of extremely high quality and their limited production ensured exclusivity.
