Under the direction of Edsel Ford, the function of the Lincoln automobile was to confer prestige upon Ford. Calvin Coolidge bought a Lincoln in 1923, establishing a presidential tradition. The Model K was introduced in 1931 and 24 models were listed in the catalogue. Lincoln produced 3,592 of them.
This Murphy, dual cowl Phaeton, rides on a new 145-inch wheelbase and is powered by a 384 cubic-inch, side-valve, V8 engine, producing 120 horsepower. When coupled to the three-speed transmission, it is capable of 75 mph.
Although this car sold for about 10 times the price of a Ford during The Great Depression, Lincolns were barely profitable because of the care that went into their production.
A total of 77 Dual Cowl Phaetons were built in the first year of the Model K. This example was driven by its current owner from Seattle to Pebble Beach on the Pebble Beach Motoring Classic in 2011.
