Passenger Limousine. Tihis Series 201, Model 207-B features a 120
bhp, 385 cu. in. L-head V-8 engine, Stromberg two-barrel
carburetor, three-speed sliding-gear manual transmission with

Refined V-8 power, mechanically sorted for touringThe completely
new Lincoln Model K was produced for only the 1931-model year. Its
refined 385-cubic inch V-8 featured increased compression and
downdraft carburetion to deliver 120 bhp. Wheelbase increased from
the 136 inches of the former Model L to 145 inches, allowing the
designers to endow it with a longer, lower and more modern
appearance. The transmission now featured synchromesh on second and
third gears, plus freewheeling. Lincoln's Murray Body Company
produced just 387 7-Passenger Limousines, including this example
with its late-production body. Luxuriously appointed and weighing
5,525 pounds, these majestic cars were priced at an equally
impressive $5,100.Equipped with dual side-mounted spare tires and a
trunk rack, this restored example features a very nice maroon paint
and bright chrome. Paint is in overall excellent condition with a
few barely noticeable minor blemishes. Undercarriage of the car is
in very clean painted condition. A glass partition separates the
tan leather-upholstered chauffeur's compartment from the excellent
original passenger compartment, which has broadcloth upholstery,
linen window shades and comfortable carpeting. The interior
hardware is original, with finishes remaining in very presentable
condition. An intercom offers voice communication with the driver,
and a folding footrest provides additional comfort when the
commodious jump seats are folded.This fine classic Lincoln is
understood to be well sorted, and its exterior finish remains
attractive despite its age. Handsomely presented and ready for
touring, this rare Model K limousine is an excellent example of
Lincoln luxury. Car pictures with whitewall tires are more recent
and those with the blackwall tires were from time of purchase by
current owner. Car is thought to have been Clara Ford's personal
Limo and current owner can provide some circumstantial but not
conclusive evidence to support the claim. Call Jeff for more
information. Car is stored in SC and can be seen with 1 week
advance notice. Thanks for looking.
