1926 Lincoln Model L Custom Berline Limousine

This Lincoln Model L carries the original body tag 'Type 147-B No. 1-177' with coachwork by Raymond Dietrich in the Berline Limousine bodystyle. It has a landaulet folding rear portion, a dual wind-up clock (one in front and one in rear), rear smoking kit with retractable electric cigar lighting, front shades for all passenger windows, aftermarket (1930s) radio, original luggage set, theft-proof locking dual side mount tire holders, tool set, remote headlamp beam adjusters, and transmission-mounted tire inflation system. There is fitted luggage with matching keys and locks. It has been driven a mere 2,000 miles since the early 1960s. It has been cosmetically updated and is recognized as Full Classics by the CCCA.

In 2008, this Custom Berline Limousine was offered for sale at the Hilton Head Sports & Classic Car Auction presented by Worldwide Auctioneers. It had an estimated value of $55,000 - $75,000. As the gavel fell for the third and final time, the lot had been sold for a high bid of $51,700, including buyer's premium.
