Full Classic
One of only five known surviving examples, this Lincoln Model K is
a beautiful example of Raymond Dietrich's "semi-custom" convertible
sedan, one of the most desirable bodies on this illustrious and
finely engineered chassis, featuring the newly lengthened 145-in.
wheelbase and an updated, redesigned Lincoln V-8. As many of the
survivors of this style are held in prominent private collections,
the opportunity to acquire one publicly is rare and should be
noted.
Recent recipient of a concours-quality full restoration to
authentic and original condition, the car features superb chrome
work by a master plater, German leather upholstery, and a Haartz
cloth top, as well as a stainless steel exhaust, and presents
absolutely beautifully in every regard. It has been shown only
three times, including a National First Prize in Antique Automobile
Club of America (AACA) judging, and two 1st place awards at the
Ault Park Concours d'Elegance in Cincinnati. Obviously numerous
further judging and award opportunities await an eager new owner.To
view this car and others currently consigned to this auction,
