Identify this Lincoln

[AHa]

 

You guys are too slow tonight so I identified it myself. This is my Grandfather setting on the front bumper of a 1934 Lincoln K. He drove this car for the misses of a Mr Morrison who summered in Spring Lake NJ and wintered in Pinehurst NC. Would anybody know if the car still exists? I don't know how to identify it further. I read somewhere that Ford has records, is this true?

We can't identify what we can't see,  Try posting your photo again, please.

Would you by chance have other views of the 1934 Lincoln so we can identify which body style it was?

Second picture loaded. The car was sold new to a Mr T. Morrison, of Sea Girt, N.J.

It was a 1934 Lincoln Twelve Model KB 145" wheelbase, either seven passenger sedan model 277-A or limousine model 277-B.   The later would have the partition window divider, broadcloth upholstery in the rear compartment, leather for the chauffeur.  These two styles were the standard Lincoln factory bodies, not semi-custom or full custom coach-built styles.  Still, it was an expensive luxury car, $4,500 for the 7 passenger sedan, $4,700 for the limousine; 210 of the former, 215 of the latter built each.  Mr. T. Morrison of Sea Girt, N.J. was a wealthy man indeed to be able to afford such a car during the Great Depression.

The best starting place would be the cars serial # . Good hunting!

Are there records of how many 1934 K production cars have survived? This information might  prove valuable to the cars owner today if we could get together. If the owner already knows the cars history, it should be easier to locate. I mis-spoke above, Thomas Morrison lived on Lorraine Ave, in Spring Lake, NJ. From Satelite imagery, I believe the house is still there.

The Henry Ford Museum has the production records, where the numbers per model come from.  Only the Lincoln Owners Club (LOC) and maybe Lincoln and Continental Owners Club (LCOC) would have a list of survivors of the model in the hands of club members.   As much as I hope it survived, the chances aren't good.
