gwells 242 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 This Lincoln is very solid mechanically (I rebuilt the engine and went through the car mechanically). The car's serial number is 49600. The 147A seven-passenger sedan body was built by the Murray company. 1,023 were built in 1928 which was the last year they were made. I purchased the car in California from an ad in the AACA magazine and I believe the car spent all of its life in California prior to my acqusition. I know it was used in at least one movie: "The Kansas City Masacre." Numerous spares and literature come with this vehicle. Note damage to rear fenders shown in photos. Lincoln $18,000 or best offer. Car is located near downtown Atlanta, in the O4W area, if you're familiar with the city. This car has to go to a new owner. Contact Harry at (404) 234-3506. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
GregLaR 2,549 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Nice car. I am not very familiar with Lincolns of this era. Was the grill painted originally? Link to post Share on other sites
HarryJ 24 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Some radiator shells were painted 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Harwood 12,231 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Painted isn't wrong but most were nickel plated with black painted radiator shutters. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
HarryJ 24 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 The maroon paint on the body radiator shell and louvers was done while it served in the movie and TV world in California. Link to post Share on other sites
HarryJ 24 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Here are some more pics of the Lincoln and some of the parts. This shows some of the damage Hollywood did; plus some of the parts. Link to post Share on other sites
GregLaR 2,549 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Heavens to Murdatroid! That's more than a little scrape. I hope they compensated you, Harry. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
HarryJ 24 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Greg, it was done before I purchased it. However, I have a copy of the movie... so you can watch them put the dents in it. The movie is "The Kansas City Massacre"... if you Google you can see my car! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, you should see the other car(s). See it happen here⬇️https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtlG9TIHeqs I think it happened after the 28 minute 39 second mark but am not sure — it was kind of a blur.

HarryJ 24 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 A little more history on serial #49600. According to the records of the Ford Motor Co. , #49600 was assembled on Feb. 28, 1928 and shipped to the Edward Lowe Motors Co. in California on April 6 1928. Link to post Share on other sites

HarryJ 24 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 $14,000? Link to post Share on other sites
HarryJ 24 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Just saw an ad that Hyman Ltd. has a 1925 beautifully restored Lincoln roadster they are asking $149,500! Link to post Share on other sites
John_S_in_Penna 3,428 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Harry, never, never look at asking prices as realistic indications of value. In recent years, prices from many dealers, and from some optimistic sellers, may be double a car's actual value. Such asking prices can be ludicrous and irrelevant. But for your car, best wishes on your sale! Link to post Share on other sites
auburnseeker 4,775 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 It's almost impossible to compare a beautifully restored Roadster to a damaged 4 door sedan regardless of the price of either. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
HarryJ 24 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Folks....the Hyman comment was just a note....yes, you can get in my opinion alot more significant auto for 150K....although; if you want a good drivable "L" mine is great. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

HarryJ 24 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 The body is aluminum and the fenders, hood and splash aprons are steel. Link to post Share on other sites
HarryJ 24 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 By the way; my Lincoln is a driver not a show car. Future owners can do repairs/restoration of various parts; however, preservation, HPOF, is what I have been basing my ownership on. Link to post Share on other sites
