1929 Lincoln Model L Sport Phaeton – A Masterpiece of American Automotive History
The 1929 Lincoln Model L Sport Phaeton tells the fascinating story of the Lincoln Motor Company and the vision of its founder, Henry Martyn Leland. Originally founded to produce aircraft engines for World War I, Leland shifted to the development of the first Lincoln automobiles in 1920, quickly establishing them as symbols of precision and luxury. Following economic challenges, Henry Ford acquired the Lincoln Motor Company in 1922, transforming it into the prestige label of his enterprise. Under Edsel Ford’s direction, Lincoln underwent a creative renaissance that elevated the Model L—and particularly the 1929 Sport Phaeton—to icons of luxury.
This rare Lincoln Model L Sport Phaeton, featuring Locke's elegant "dual-cowl" design, is one of only 58 examples of the 163B style produced in 1929. Equipped with a powerful V8 engine, a three-speed transmission, and a luxurious interior, this Phaeton offers an additional windshield for rear passengers, enhancing comfort and delivering a distinctive driving experience.
Vehicle History:
From 1929 to the early 1950s, the vehicle’s original ownership is unknown.
In the early 1950s, it was acquired by Henry Austin Clark and later owned by his wife, Waleta H. Clark, in Glen Cove, New York.
On October 5, 1996, the car was sold at a Sotheby’s auction in New York City and subsequently traded through RM Classic Cars Inc. in Ontario, Canada.
From October 1996 to April 1997, the Lincoln was restored at Fawcet Motor Carriage in Whitby, Ontario.
In April 1997, the then-owner Gerhard Schweitzer imported the car to Germany, where it remained in his possession until 2014.
Since 2014, the Lincoln has been in the care of its current owner.
The vehicle comes with a FIVA Identity Card, verifying the originality and provenance of this rare automobile. This card documents the car’s history and confirms the matching chassis and engine numbers, adding further authenticity and collectible value to this vehicle. The car was restored in the early 2000s, with a detailed photographic documentation of the restoration process showcasing the extensive work and care invested—an invaluable testament to the high quality of this restoration.
The vehicle is in good overall condition, having been regularly driven in classic car rallies and on weekend excursions in recent years. It has been meticulously maintained and is in flawless technical condition.
