1939 Lincoln Model K Limousine

There were only 58 examples of the 7-passenger Limousine produced, and was the most popular body-style on the Lincoln Model K for 1939. Lincoln would produce a total of 133 examples of the Model K for 1939, many being one-off bodies. This car is a well optioned vehicle with a fully-equipped Taylor Trunk. It wears its correct Lincoln Washington Blue paint and the interior features beige broadcloth and genuine wood-grain trim with factory-applied pinstripe accents adorning the windowsills and all glass frames. The machined interior hardware features nickel-plating throughout. The odometer shows just 29,000 original miles since new.

The engine is a 67-degree L-head V12 that displaces 414 cubic-inches and produces 150 horsepower. There is a Stromberg Downdraft 2-barrel carburetor, three-speed manual gearbox, and four-wheel vacuum assisted drum brakes.

In 2010, this car was offered for sale at Gooding & Company's Scottsdale Auction in Arizona. It was estimated to sell for $80,000 - $110,000. The lot was sold for the sum of $104,500, inclusive of buyer's premium.
