1931 Lincoln Model K Convertible Coupe

For 1931 Lincoln introduced a longer, 145-inch wheelbase chassis known as the Model K, replacing the 136-inch Model L chassis. The move was applauded by body designers, who had long been seeking a longer Lincoln chassis for their efforts.

One of those body designers was LeBaron, which designed this attractive convertible coupe. This was a very popular body style with Lincoln customers. Of the 3,540 Lincolns built in 1931, 275 were LeBaron convertible coupes.

The legendary Leland-designed V-8 received a horsepower boost in 1931 thanks to America's first dual downdraft carburetor. Horsepower was now 125. Price of the 1931 Lincoln LeBaron convertible coupe, which could carry two or four passengers (note the rumble seat), was $4,700.
