Vehicle Description
This 145" wheelbase Model K wears the most exclusive and expensive
body available in 1937, the Panel Brougham by Willoughby
Coachbuilders of Utica, NY. The Panel Brougham features dramatic
razor-edge styling that was very distinctive for the time. Lincoln
produced a total of 977 Model Ks in 1937. Of that 977 only four
were built of this particular model. This car was once a part of
the illustrious Roy Warshawsky's collection, the founder of J.C.
Whitney, who was famous for his fondness for Lincoln automobiles.
Rick Kriss performed the restoration, and the car scored a Best in
Class at the 1988 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. In the years
since, a series of well-known collectors have meticulously
maintained it. After leaving the Warshawsky collection, it was
owned briefly by Dr. J. Murphy, who then sold it to General William
Lyons. This Lincoln was a fixture in General Lyons' collection for
many years and it remains in good condition today. Features include
Senior Trippe lights, a Greyhound mascot, dual side-mounted spares
and chrome wire wheels. This car is unique in that it features the
hand-painted cane work on the body sides, which was an original
option, according to the factory catalog. The interior is correctly
restored with a leather driver's compartment and a gray broadcloth
rear compartment. It's powered by a 414ci V12 engine that sends
power through a 3-speed manual transmission. Luxurious appointments
include roller blinds, folding opera seats, footrests, woodwork and
a Jaeger 8-day clock. This Lincoln K is ready to be enjoyed on the
road or to show.
