1938 Lincoln Model K Brougham

Coachwork by Brunn

Brunn & Company of Buffalo, NY was probably Edsel Ford's favorite custom coachbuilder. The company began designing and building bodies for the Lincoln Motor Company in 1922. Ford Motor Company acquired Lincoln that same year.

This Lincoln brougham was used by Edsel and Eleanor Ford for formal outings both in Detroit as well as other cities. It was not uncommon for Mr. Ford to have his cars shipped or, in some cases, kept in another city, available when he visited.

The Brunn type 411 brougham body style was one of the most expensive models in the 1938 Lincoln catalogue, selling for $7,000, enough to buy a very nice house in most American cities.
