One of a mere 30 produced in 1935, this Lincoln Model K V-12 Roadster with gorgeous LeBaron coachwork is a CCCA Full Classic and winner of an AACA National First prize in 1977. Introduced in 1931 as a replacement for the aging Model L, the Model K entered the highest echelon of the automotive market in the early days of the Great Depression on a new 145-inch wheelbase chassis using a 385 CI version of the Model L’s V-8 engine modified with a 2-barrel Stromberg carburetor, higher compression and other tweaks to produce 120 HP. In 1932

, Edsel Ford doubled down on his vision of offering the ultimate luxury and performance automobile, splitting the K into two ranges: the V-8 powered KA, built on a 136-inch wheelbase, and the majestic KB, built on a 145-inch wheelbase and powered by an all-new 448 CI V-12 engine. By 1934, the choice of engines had been cut to a single 414 CI version of the V-12, and in 1935, the A and B designations were dropped and significant design changes were introduced.

The passenger area was moved forward 11 inches for better weight distribution; five rubber engine mounts, an improved cam design and needle-bearing roller tappets provided quieter operation, and new synchros made easier work of shifting the 3-speed manual transmission. Although both wheelbases were still available, the 136-inch chassis with LeBaron coachwork has remained the more popular with collectors who prefer its more compact sportiness. Dressed to turn heads in bright yellow with a dark yellow beltline and blue pinstriping,

this special-order Model 542 LeBaron rumble-seat roadster is distinguished by its 17-inch wire wheels with wide whitewall tires, dual side mounts with steel covers, Guide Super Ray fog lamps, side-louvered hood Greyhound mascot and a rear luggage rack

. Finished inside with beautiful tan leather upholstery, a two-gauge instrument cluster, dual mirrors, a locking glovebox and rear-seat foot rest, this is a singularly impressive example of the first of the great V-12 powered Lincolns.
