alsancle Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1934-lincoln-kb-limosine-by-willoughby/ This 1934 Lincoln KB is one of 77 examples built with Willoughby seven-passenger limousine coachwork for the model year and was purchased by its current owner 20 years ago. A subsequent multiyear refurbishment was completed five years ago and included a repaint in black, a re-trim of the interior in gray cloth and black leather, and an overhaul of the 414ci V12. Additional features include a three-speed manual transmission, mechanically actuated duo-servo drum brakes with adjustable vacuum assistance, thermostatic shock absorbers, 18” wire wheels, dual side-mount spares, a central partition with a roll-up window, fold-down jump seats, and an intercom system. This Lincoln KB is now offered on dealer consignment with refurbishment documentation and a clean California title. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only this Lincoln owner had been an influential best friend/mentor with the previous owner who restored the 1934 Packard 12 creamsicle we’ve been discussing. i’m trying to think of a car that looks bad painted black…………..hmm……..can’t think of one. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 How many times do the dimwits on BaT have to make a gangster comment? Two so far. What's the over/under? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinmass Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Fantastic car. Can’t say enough good comments about the 34 Lincoln. I don’t need another car, but I would love to have this one in my garage. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted June 2 Author Share Posted June 2 (edited) Although a "high hat" type design I expect this car to do very well. There is a premium for well restored cars based on the simple fact the cost of projects has become insane. Still using the "KB" moniker in 33 the fork and blade engine was only two years: 32 & 33. Not a slouch at 414CI and 150 rated HP. Edited June 2 by alsancle (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 I echo all the positive comments here by men "who know" because they have been in this interest for decades in a hands on and "driver" nature. I love big sedans , town cars etc like this but if it has a division window in it so I couldn't drive it comfortably. To tall and long in leg to be able to do so. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 That car has been on the market for a LONG time with a very premium price. The quality is certainly there, but is there a big six-figure market for high-hat limousines? Either way, it's going to sell for pennies on the dollar compared to the restoration. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarNucopia Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 (edited) This is a gorgeous car. I am curious, is the ride hight and tire size correct? It seems low with the wheelwells filled out more than my eye is accustomed to. Edited June 2 by CarNucopia (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlespetty Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 I really like this all original example even better, but they are both stunning cars. https://www.significantcars.com/vehicles/25/1934-lincoln-k-willoughby-limousine 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sold for 101,000 plus the BAT vig. I think a strong result that is still just a faction of restoration costs. Still, impressed with sale price. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
