The Lincoln Motor Company was founded in 1917 by Henry Leland. He was an ambitious entrepreneur who had previously started the Cadillac Motor Car Company in 1903 from the remnants of Henry Ford's second failed attempt to start an auto company (Henry's third attempt resulted in the Ford Motor Company we know today).
The Lincoln's built by Leland were very expensive and well-built, but stodgy in design. The Ford Motor Company acquired Lincoln in 1922. Edsel Ford, Henry's son, was put in charge and used his natural design instincts to lead Lincoln to build beautiful, luxurious cars. With Ford's backing during the lingering depression, Lincoln was able to continue its focus on the luxury market.
The Lincoln Model L was powered by a 384 cubic-inch flat-head V8 engine with aluminum pistons offering 90 horsepower and connected to a three-speed manual transmission. The body of this car was built by the Murray Body Company, but designed by LeBaron. This design was produced from 1925 through 1928. A total of 1,335 were built at a selling price of $4,800.
Sometime after World War II, this car was converted into a poorly executed open front town car. The current owner acquired the car in 1998 and spent 13 years finding the original parts to complete the beautiful restoration to its original condition.
