On the heels of the lincoln motor company debuting their newest line-topping continental, it seems only appropriate that rk motors charlotte would debut one of the finest lincolns ever produced. And, according to some automotive historians, the tailored model k is the best lincoln ever produced. That meant any company wishing to compete at the very top of the new car market would need to adopt the 'bigger is better' mindset. And when henry leland founded lincoln, he constructed the brand on the premise of cars without compromise. True to that philosophy, lincolns had always been well built cars. And this incredible classic, 1 of only 15 1938 model k lebarons assembled, and 1 of only 6 known to still exist, is the epitome of what was, and should still be, great about the lincoln motor company. Coachwork/trim produced from 1931 to 1939, the lincoln model k was a favorite of celebrities and dignitaries across the globe. And while the brand banked its image on made-to-order cars, it also placed stock orders, sometimes 50 at a time, to a multitude of coachbuilders. Known as the catalog custom system, this accomplished three things: 1) a shorter delivery time 2) allowed customers to still enjoy the quality and exclusivity of a coachbuilt automobile and 3) allowed customers to easily customize certain aspects of their cars in a variety of ways. In many ways, this philosophy signaled a permanent change, as mass production models like the lincoln continental and zephyr started providing the bulk of revenue for luxury franchises. That meant, by 1938, model k lebaron orders had wilted to just 15 bespoke cars. However, as is often the case in the realm of classic cars: low production equals increased collectability. And, in addition to being one of the finest vintage lincolns ever produced, k9105 is believed to be 1 of only 6 1938 model k lebarons still in existence. With its low windshield, clean top lines and sweeping fender lines, the car is a masterpiece of classic era design. Naturally, that body's aesthetic is wall street swank, wrapping intricate brightwork around conservative 2-stage. That expertly applied pigment has been buffed to the kind of liquid-smooth shine that's right at home sitting on the show field. Engine it's no surprise that one of the finest lincolns ever built is powered by one of the finest engines ever built. Simpler than the brand's storied kb v12, this lebaron's 414 cubic inch ka v12 uses five main bearings and side-by-side connecting rods to create a smooth 150 horsepower. That said; there was one problem. The mill was so expensive to manufacture that it would eventually by replaced by a more conventional v8, making 1939 the last year for the ultimate lincoln. Drivetrain driven by edsel ford, lincoln was unwavering in its commitment to the coachbuilt car. Although a baseline of factory standard sedans was offered, each year new designs were solicited from customhouses for the top-of-the-line model k, and those renderings were used to produce sales catalogs for lincoln dealers. The brand's chassis, specifically designed to receive bespoke coachwork, featured unparalleled quality. The foundation for that quality was solid front and live rear axles, longitudinal leaf springs and 4-wheel vacuum servo assisted drum brakes. With those bits in mind, the model did receive continuous updates in the form of better frame reinforcement, an adjustable vacuum booster, thermostatic shock absorbers and a new 3-speed transmission. Interior the interior of this antique cruiser is not as sparse as one might think. Tasteful door panels join plush carpet and comfy leather seats to serve as all of the car's soft points. The dash and steering wheel are restored pieces that feature an assortment of period correct knobs, gauges and controls. There's a small mirror and dual windshield wipers, which add a bit of livability. And overall, this lincoln emphasizes the kind of tailored, upscale coddling that most showroom-fresh metal lost a long time ago. This lebaron is an elegant, luxurious and exceptionally stylish reminder of the incredible engineering prowess of one of the world's most storied automotive franchises. Leather Seats

The glass seal is bad and water leaked inside, there is a spot on the roof that would be an easy repair with the right paint and body man. The right reconditioner and detail guy could really bring this car around to a nice state of original presentation.. The interior is in good shape with the exception of the passenger side below rear quarter glass

1938 lincoln zephyr town sedan limousine. This is an amazing example showing only 35,000 miles. This car is almost completely original. The interior is all original and the exterior is mostly original paint with only a small amount of touch up. The car runs and drives like new and everything works as it should. Only 130 of these were made with very few remaining. The zephyr is powered by a v12 flathead engine with hydraulic lifters that produces enough power to make the car capable of 90mph. Introduced on november 2, 1935, as a 1936 model, the lincoln-zephyr was extremely modern with a low raked windscreen, integrated fenders, and streamlined aerodynamic design, which influenced the name "zephyr", derived from the greek word zephyrus, or the god of the west wind. It was one of the first successful streamlined cars after the chrysler airflow's market resistance. In fact, the lincoln-zephyr actually had a lower coefficient of drag (. 45) than the airflow, due in part to the prow-like front grille on the zephyr. The lincoln-zephyr succeeded in reigniting sales at lincoln dealerships in the late 1930s, and from 1941 model year, all lincolns were zephyr-based and the lincoln-zephyr marque was phased out. Annual production for any year model was not large, but accounted for a large portion of the lincoln brand's sales. In its first year, 15,000 were sold, accounting for 80% of lincoln's total sales.

Introduced in 1935 as a 1936 model, the all-new Lincoln-Zephyr was meant to be a lower-priced and less expensive alternative to the full-fledged Lincoln, yet still very much a luxury car with its V12 engine and impeccable style. In the early 1930s, Edsel Ford, president of the Ford Motor Company, recognized that a new line was needed to fill the-ever widening gap between top line Fords and the ultra-exclusive, coachbuilt Lincoln K series. Edsel Ford teamed up with his masterful stylist Eugene “Bob” Gregorie, to pen a gorgeous streamlined body, characterized by its pronounced prow and flowing waterfall-like grilles and exquisite but sparse detailing
