lelandlincoln 17 Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 1931 Lincoln type 211 Dietrich convertible sedan. A Lincoln salon offering for 1931 and one of Lincoln’s most expensive cars; sold new for $7,600. 55 built, five remain. Three-position top. Division window. Beautiful interior wood trim. Complete, missing nothing. Acquired by me in 2013 from a New England car collection where it had been for 50+ years. In 1960s they repainted it and installed a new top. I went through the car mechanically, including a professionally rebuilt engine, carburetor, fuel pump, starter, generator, et cetera. Driven on the 2016 Classic Car Club of America New England CARavan (1,700 miles) and similar long tours. Superb driving car. Retains original leather interior except for front seats which were replaced with color-dyed replacement leather. Car may be driven and enjoyed as-is or restored to the new owner’s desired level. Have original color chips (Slate Green and Hamilton Green). Sale includes 1931 Book of Instruction and 1931 Lincoln Salon catalogue. 6 Link to post Share on other sites
motoringicons 406 Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 (edited) This is an absolutely fabulous and world-class car. The owner is one of the foremost Lincoln authorities and a great guy as well. This is a car you can buy with confidence. Edited October 26 by motoringicons (see edit history) 4 Link to post Share on other sites

alsancle 4,229 Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Since I said it in the other thread I'll repeat it here. Dietrich never made an unattractive body. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

But that is why you always buy the coffee so it is my turn when dinner comes around. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
