1940 LINCOLN BRUNN TOWN CAR (HISTORICAL CAR)

[Mssr. Bwatoe]

Hi gang, I've got the scoop on a very cool one off Lincoln Brunn for sale, or about to come up on the market--This is one 

of the hand built - special ordered- home office- direct from Edsel Ford's desk kind of special cars...built for family in a time when 

the elite wore high hats and participated in very formal events "On the Town" . The kind of arrival expected  for red-carpet events...

The car was built for Edsel's bro in-law Ernst Kanzler, then made its way into the defense department fleet in the war years.  (defense dpt Robert Lovett)

 

ASKING PRICE 42,000 FOR RUNNING DRIVING AUTOMOBILE!!

 

The other special thing about this car is the fact that it went back to the factory for a front end facelift, (similar to the Sunshine Special)

used by presidents...The car holds a very special footnote in history, whether you think it to be a thing of beauty or merely a curiosity,

as H-V-12 fans, ya gotta appreciate what a neat thing it is---sliding glass partition,sliding soft top over Chauffeur, optional trunk model --

etc--mostly original, obviously maintained over its lifetime....it's twin was driven by Mrs. Ford....

enjoy..

Cool car.  Not bad looking for a "high hat" either.  By 1940 the number of coachbuilt cars was down to almost nothing.

Well said, that's the whole point, it is the end of an era, but for a few dignitaries in these holdover autos----Brunn Body in New York

also fitted some GM vehicles of this new , non custom body era...

Those Brunn Roadmasters are VERY attractive.
