Company founder Henry Martyn Leland initially started Lincoln to build Liberty aero engines. He would eventually produce motorcars after the 1918 armistice. Designed to compete with the Cadillac, the Lincoln is a high-end precision-made automobile.
By 1928 the Lincoln engine had been enlarged considerably, and for 1931 was heavily revised, incorporating five main bearings and a host of other improvements. This would include the first American use of a two-barrel, downdraft carburetor which raised maximum power from 90 to 120 horsepower. Lincoln's up-rated engine would go into an entirely new car, the Model K, built on a lengthened 145-inch wheelbase chassis.
1932 was a major year for Lincoln, with numerous changes throughout the lineup. All of their cars were restyled to keep a strong yet distinct family resemblance with the new 1932 Fords. Lincoln would offer two different models, the A engine model which would be called the KA, and the KB, which would receive the all-new V12 engine. Lincoln would work with a variety of coachbuilders over the years, including Dietrich, Murphy, LeBaron, Willoughby, Murray and others.
This example is powered by the venerable Lincoln V8 on a 136-inch wheelbase chassis. It is a restored example of the KA sedan with body by Murray. Murray was known for their dramatic styling, featuring the long sleek hood.
