K8096 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) Did you order your build sheet from the Henry Ford library yet? That will tell exactly how it looked when new, including the brand of tires and if they were whitewall or not.

Walt G Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) Great car, thanks for sharing this! A close friend had a 1934 Lincoln K series 7 passenger sedan and it was also all blue with white walls. Great car. Like any old car if they are sorted out right the first time around then it is 'riding like gliding" . Love the colors of both the car and wheels - it is why the whitewall tire work so well as a whole visual entity, if the wheels were a bright contrasting color you would loose the whole perspective of the car.

It is even more fun on a Duesenberg with chrome wires and double whitewalls and of course to add to the fun let's do sidemounts with metal covers and an exposed backside of whitewall tire.

Walt G Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 As with all the cars we currently love - they are indeed USED CARS. When this grand Lincoln was 4 years old the Kelley Kar Company "blue book" which was a wholesale used car value guide that was used by car dealers gave the value of Lincoln standard and custom models as you can see here. Note that 5% was added for "six-wheel equipment" Compare the Factory price to the right with the wholesale price to the left. Kelley Kar Company was located in Los Angeles at South Figueroa Street which was the main center/location of new and used automobile sales for that city. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, W C Field’s car is a ‘33. The radiator shell is sloped & veed and the front fenders are skirted. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Peterson Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I think the difference between JAK's car and W.C. Fields' car is because JAK's is a Series KA, and Fields' is a KB. The KB 12 engine had 65 more cubic inches of displacement and 30 more horsepower than the KA. In my opinion, the KA is stylishly more sporty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
