Vehicle Description
1937 Lincoln Model K LeBaron Convertible Sedan – Rare Body Style 363-A, 414ci V12, Only ~12 Produced, Coachbuilt Elegance
Lincoln, the luxury flagship of the Ford Motor Company, produced just 977 automobiles in its regal Model K line as it emerged from the Great Depression, across an amazing 21 body styles. According to most informed estimates, Lincoln assembled just 12 examples of the Model K in 1937 fitted with body style 363-A, the LeBaron four-door, five-passenger Convertible Sedan. Similar estimates indicate that only a half-dozen Lincoln Ks with this body style continue to exist today. This extraordinary example has been restored to better-than-new condition, featuring the larger 414ci V12, dual sidemount spares, the unique roll-up glass seat divider, and impeccable coachbuilt presentation.
