This is one of 170 of the Style 543 two window sedans made in 1935.  The two window sedans were built on the 136-inch wheelbase and were beautifully close-coupled.

It was delivered new to a petite person from Avon, CT who special ordered it with a drivers seat removeable pillow and extra thick peddle pads.  Early in its life, it developed a cracked head and was stored.  By the 1950’s, the Lincoln was acquired by Mr. Charles Walker of Avon, CT.  By July 27, 1955, the K had accumulated 16,111 miles.  The Walker family enjoyed the K for the next 40+ years, showing it at many local and regional events.  See the photo gallery for the photos showing it with them in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s at car shows.  When Charles passed, his son, Rich inherited the K.  Rich Walker continued to enjoy the K until October of 1994.

The next owners were Ray Lichota who updated the tires and placed the best two of the original Firestone tires in the side mounts, where they still reside today.  The K had acquired 22,000 miles at that time.  The K was then acquired by Lee Hopkins from Fortuna, CA.  Mr. Hopkins enjoyed it until it was acquired by Paul Longstreth of Scottsdale, AZ in February 2008.  Paul commenced a detailed and incredible restoration of a wonderful original car.

Every detail was attended to.  The body was stripped to bare metal, the chassis was also stripped and refinished.  The engine was removed and torn down to find there was no wear in the cylinders or other components.  All the porcelain and finishes are done to top concours level.

The livery was refinished in its original Slate Green.  The paint is fantastic and is complimented by gray coachstripes and beautiful chrome finished throughout.  This was accomplished from the thorough restoration with a bare metal respray and all the finishes redone to very high concours standards.

The most incredible part of this classic is the original interior, Trim Code 1645.  All of the interior is original save for the front mosstread carpet which has been replaced with an original replacement.  The interior is very close to perfect given its age.  The wool broadcloth is nearly perfect with none of the usual staining.  There are a few very small moth holes in the headliner, but they are almost un-noticeable without a fine inspection.  The rear passenger compartment has a heater and twin vanities.  It all remains in gorgeous condition today.  The rear compartment also has its compliment of silk shade, which are also in beautiful original condition.  The dashboard and inlaid wood panels are all in beautiful condition.  Even the keys and keyfob are original to the car and in remarkable condition today.  The rear compartment has its original floor heater as well as the foot rests.

The engine compartment and the venerable 414 CID V12 are all in concours condition today.  With 150 bhp, the V12 performs beautifully today, especially on the smaller and lighter shorter wheelbase.  The engine was carefully disassembled and carefully inspected.  It exhibited almost no wear and was then reassembled and new replacement aluminum heads were installed.  It is now running beautifully.  The chassis was completely stripped and repainted to concours standards in a matching Slate Green.  It is gorgeous!

This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire one of the best built classic era cars for just a fraction of its restoration costs.  The K comes with a full photo gallery of the restoration process, historical records and its factory information.  This is an important part of automotive history, now celebrating its centennial this year!

The post 1935 Lincoln Model K Two Window Sedan appeared first on Classic Promenade.

We are pleased to offer this beautifully restored 1937 Lincoln Model K Brunn All-Weather Brougham that is a multiple award winner, including at the esteemed Pebble Beach Concours.  This Lincoln is one of four All-Weather Broughams built by Brunn on the longer 145-inch wheelbase, and is said to be one of three with the rear quarterlight windows.  Look at the photos carefully to see how Brunn masterfully blended a “top-hat” higher rear passenger roof line with a rakish low-cut and sporty windshield.

The original owner is thought to be the Baldwin family of piano fame.  Since then, this was a long-time California car having been owned by leading Lincoln experts over the decades.  Jack Passey of Watsonville, CA owned this Lincoln and in 1969 sold it to another Lincoln expert, William Schmidt.  Both Passey and Schmidt were well known Lincoln experts and served as judges and exhibitors at Pebble Beach and the Classic Car Club of America.  Mr. Schmidt commenced a thorough restoration, completing about 80% of the car when it was sold to the present owners, Gary and Lisa Capra, in 1998.

The Capra’s completed the restoration, using well renowned experts such as Barry Briskman in Scottsdale.  The Lincoln was then shown at the Classic Car Club of America and the Antique Automobile Club of America events earning National First Place awards many times over.  It was then invited to the Pebble Beach Concours in 2000 where it earned Second in class (D-1 American Closed Classics), a prestigious accomplishment.  It was subsequently exhibited at the Arizona Concours and has completed CCCA Caravans and numerous tours.

The livery is in very nice condition today, finished in Brewster Green complimented by triple light green coachstripes, beautiful chrome and a formal black padded top.  There are a few areas of scratches around the engine compartment from normal use.  These would be fairly simple to have repaired to help make the Lincoln more competitive for show once again.  The chrome and stainless trim are in beautiful condition today.   The dual side mounts have the correct covers and the cloisonné Lincoln V12 badges are beautiful in their blue enamel.

The Lincoln is accessorized with a correct black leather luggage trunk with four fitted pieces of luggage inside.  This is all in beautiful show condition today.

The interior has beautiful and correct black leather for the chauffeur’s compartment.  The leather is soft and supple and shows minimal wear, commensurate with the 8,000 miles added since the restoration.  The dashboard was fully restored and is well done with several light scratches near the top of the steering wheel where rings or nails hit the painted surface while touring.

The rear passenger compartment is a beautiful dark green wool broadcloth with green wool carpeting.  The wood is beautifully refinished and looks great today.  The gold silk privacy shades are all functional and add to the sense of luxury and elegance.  The two jump seats are completed in matching dark green wool broadcloth and are also in excellent condition.  The elegant German silver door handles and window cranks are all in excellent condition and the delicate Jaeger clock is functioning and is mounted in the center of the divider wood panel.  Mother of pearl buttons and tigers eye cigar lighters finish the accessories.

The engine compartment is beautifully detailed and the engine is smooth and powerful in all respects.  The details are very accurate and there is little needed to make this ready for concours competition.  Mechanically, we found no issues that need attention.  The electric fuel pump comes on with the ignition and battery disconnect is easily accessible.  This Lincoln also has been upgraded with a high speed rear end and drives well on highways.  This Lincoln comes complete with documentation going back to 1969, including letters from Hermann C. Brunn about this car and a huge stack of receipts for the restoration and maintenance.  The documents include copies of the original Brunn drawings for this design.

This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire an important and beautifully restored example of American luxury and elegance.  For more details and information, please call or text Harry Clark at +1.623.404.9042 or email us at sales@classicpromenade.com.  The Model K is available for viewing at our Phoenix showroom.
