[The world's oldest Lincoln]

Whoops, just changed it Thanks, 

[The world's oldest Lincoln]

The car was originally Lincoln Blue, also known as Cobalt Blue. You can see it through the yellow paint in places.  The car behind in this picture from the homecoming on Saturday is close to the original color.

 

What was cool was comparing both these cars. The blue on is number 5206 (a Leland Lincoln) there are lots of styling differences and the classis was beefed up at the back. I have number 2956 same body style as these two, 7 seater touring's  made Nov 1921 and its the same as the 5206 not the early one.

[Lincoln Model L remaking rollers and pins for lifters!]

Member Dick Powers contacted me with new information about the pin and roller sets made by Egge. In the 1998 Egge catalog the roller sets have a stock number of VC109 which fits all the Model L through to 1933 KB. So they fit all the engines that are fork and blade construction.

I am still looking for more members to join this order. So far I have orders for 13 sets but need 16 for the minimum order at Egge. Anybody else thinking of doing engine work in the near future?

Our car is a 1921 Lincoln Deluxe Touring that was commissioned and sold by Puritan Motors Corporation, Boston Mass one of the first 15 Lincoln distributors,.

A late 1920s map shows the building it was owned by Ford, then the video shows it when it was owned by Ellis the Rim Man, now it is a school.

I once followed the run in my modern car, every one was having so much fun and great to see these old cars on the road and not just in a museums.    

 

My condolences to everybody involved.

Hi Phil,

 

The leather looks like it has no outer surface. I wonder if they where using leather with the top grain removed and not surfaced. How is it jointed together sewn or laced?

[Lincoln Model L remaking rollers and pins for lifters!]

I am rebuilding the 1929 motor that’s in my 1921 Lincoln Model L, but I am having problems getting a new set of cam rollers. Mine are very pitted and really need changing.

 

I have spoken to Egge about getting new rollers and pins. They used to make them, but they are now out of stock.

 

They are saying that if we get around 10 sets ordered they would remake them. The approximate price would be around $20 per roller and pin so around $320 for a set plus postage and packing. 

 

The price is only for the roller and pin that holds the roller in the lifter.  They would need to be reassembled in the lifters.

Are there any Lincoln Model L owners that might be interested in getting some for their car? Please let me know.

 

Best,

Mick 

 

The picture is the of the broken roller and pin that came out of my engine, but you get the idea..

[1920'S FORD BRANCH LETTERS ON STOLEN LINCOLN CARS.]

Hi Blincoln,

 

It would be very interesting to see some of the early reports of stolen car.

As for the color, I have been doing research our Lincoln which was a very dark purple color when my father-in-law brought it in the 1970s. The original build listing held by the Henry Ford Museum says the color was L B when it was sold. I found an article from the Michigan Manufacturer and Financial Record from September 18th 1920 which say "The standard finish of the Lincoln cars is as follows, Body pannels Lincoln blue, ....
