1936 Lincoln Model K V12 Laudaulette	1936 Lincoln Model K V12 Laudaulette 50,600.00 USD Offered For Sale at the: RM Auction - Vintage Motor Cars at Meadow Brook Hall August 6, 2005, Auburn Hills, Michigan RM Auctions One Classic Car Drive Blenheim, Ontario N0P 1A0 Canada Phone: 519-352-4575 Website: www.rmauctions.com 1936 Lincoln Model K V12 Laudaulette LOT: 067 Estimate: $60,000-$90,000 US Chassis No. K5686 AUCTION RESULTS: Lot was Sold at a price of $50,600 Formerly the Property of Richard Ringling and One of Only Ten Originally Built COACHWORK BY BRUNN 150hp 414 cu. in. V12 engine with automatic spark control, three-speed manual transmission, semi-elliptic leaf springs and four-wheel power assisted mechanical drum brakes. Wheelbase: 136" By 1935 the upper-end car market had all but disappeared. With the world still gripped with the burdening effect of the Great Depression, many could no longer afford such luxuries as expensive coachbuilt motor cars. Even those who were able to afford such automobiles felt it was inappropriate to spend such large sums of money on extravagant automobiles. As a result, most of the great manufacturers were dead or dying; Lincoln would be one of the few remaining survivors, mostly due to the support of the Ford Motor Company. Edsel Ford retained a strong interest in the line and he actively supported its continued evolution and growth. Which, as time progressed, it accomplished as the competition disappeared and Lincoln’s resilience withstood the economic downturn and by the mid 1930s it was only one of a few remaining successful automotive manufacturers. In 1936 all Lincolns, excluding the Zephyr, fell under the insignia Model K and Series 300. Still powered by the V12 the car was very similar to the previous year’s model, however minor cosmetic changes were made to freshen up the Model K lineup. Changes included a 27 degree sloping windshield versus the previous model’s 20 degree slope, more prominent horizontal bars in the grill, and rounder fender with smother edges. The headlights were also lowered and the old wire wheels were replaced with pressed steel. Mechanically little changed with the exception of the use of helical gears in the transmission, five engine mounts as opposed to four, and dual windshield wiper motors. The unique Lincoln Landaulette Town Car offered here has had quite a colorful history. The Lincoln was purchased from an authorized dealership in 1935. It was subsequently sent to the Brunn Body Co. of Buffalo, New York where the coachwork was handbuilt. The body took nearly an entire year to build and upon completion it was shipped by rail to Detroit. In Detroit the body was coupled to the chassis at the Lincoln plant. We understand that it was the second of only 10 made in this style. Being such a unique example, its early ownership history does not disappoint as the car was originally purchased for Richard Ringling, son of Alf T. Ringling – one of the original Ringling Brothers. However, Richard was in poor health when he ordered the Lincoln, and unfortunately by the time it was delivered, he had passed away. Around 10 years later the Lincoln resurfaced at a used car lot in Chicago where amazingly, its next owner was yet another carnival performer by the name of Sig Signor. We understand he used the Lincoln to carry his dog act and pull his trailer home all over the country to carnivals and fairs. After settling down in Minneapolis, Mr. Signor no longer needed the big Lincoln and printed an ad in the local newspaper offering the car for the best offer over $50. Mr. John Morgan purchased the Lincoln for $51, and one year later sold the car to a Mr. Julius Moffet for an unknown amount. Mr. Moffet kept the car in storage until he passed away in 1960. Odd C. Braathen, owner of the Hennepin Avenue Garage, and a specialist in antique and classic automobile restoration purchased the car from Mr. Moffet’s widow that same year. Mr. Art Blade purchased the Lincoln from Mr. Braathen in 1965 and took it upon himself to perform a frame-up restoration. Mr. Blade had owned a body shop in the 1950s and performed the body and upholstery work himself while Braathen assisted with the mechanical end of the restoration. During the restoration every part was refinished and painted before being installed. Six genuine cowhides were used for the top and the chauffeur’s compartment. The rest of the interior was upholstered in imported English broadcloth. In view of the Lincoln’s custom design Mr. Blade chose a beige paint, a nitro-cellulose lacquer, all hand rubbed. The painstaking restoration was completed in 1975 and the car was then used to compete in state and international shows, show in parades, and deliver several lucky brides to their weddings. The current owner purchased the Lincoln from Mr. Blade in 2004 and because of its excellent condition, has not had to alter a thing. As unique two position convertible, the roof over the driver folds under and the roof over very back folds down, but the middle section of the roof is stationary. A unique history, with a unique style, this car is delightful and is perfectly suited to be shown in CCCA events or just to be driven with its multi-faceted top configuration allowing for true all weather enjoyment and touring. by Douglas

This year, all models used the same engine, which made maintenance easier for fleet owners, and for improved construction, The "Turret-Top" all steel Fisher body was a welcomed advancement. This coupe has been treated to a full restoration, finished in Willow Green with ivory pin-striping on the hood louvers, it is trimmed in tan mohair with matching door panels. Rather Spartan when new, a correct vintage factory radio has been installed on this coupe, as well as a fresh-air heater. An outside, rear-mounted spare tire leaves plenty of room in the truck and behind the seats for salesmen making the call or a traveling service rep to carry spare parts and his tools. At just $459 when new, a total of 56,356 business coupes came off the production lines. However, survivors are rare and in this turn-key condition, this may be the last time you can buy a superb specimen such as this, still powered by that tried-and-true stove-bolt six. by Douglas

1936 Packard Twelve Convertible Victoria	1936 Packard Twelve Convertible Victoria 121,000.00 USD Offered For Sale at the: RM Auction - Vintage Motor Cars at Meadow Brook Hall August 6, 2005, Auburn Hills, Michigan RM Auctions One Classic Car Drive Blenheim, Ontario N0P 1A0 Canada Phone: 519-352-4575 Website: www.rmauctions.com 1936 Packard Twelve Convertible Victoria LOT: 071 Estimate: $160,000-$190,000 US Chassis No. 247352 AUCTION RESULTS: Lot was Sold at a price of $121,000 175bhp 473 cu. in. side-valve, twelve-cylinder engine, three-speed synchromesh manual transmission, semi-elliptic leaf springs and four-wheel vacuum assisted mechanical drum brakes. Wheelbase: 139" Many consider the 1935 to 1939 Twelves to be the finest automobiles ever produced by the Packard Motor Car Company. It is certainly true that they represented the end of an era – never again would Packard offer the exceptional quality of a handbuilt senior car. In 1936 there were 5,100 production workers at Packard, 2,500 of them worked building 5,985 senior cars, while the remaining 2,600 workers produced an astounding 55,042 Packard 120 models. The distribution of labor is telling of Packard’s commitment to producing the finest automobiles, yet being publicly owned Packard needed to produce high volume inexpensive vehicles to keep themselves out of the red. A study conducted in 1936 revealed that 95 percent of the vehicles sold had a sticker price less than $750 – considered economy car price by Depression standards. early the remaining five percent of the cars sold in 1936 were considered mid-priced vehicles in the $1,000 price range. That left a mere fraction of one percent of the cars sold in America being luxury vehicles of the caliber and quality as displayed by this particular Packard. For 1935 Packard introduced many changes that have made these cars among the most highly prized collector cars today. More horsepower and improvements in suspension and steering made the 1935 easier and more comfortable to drive. For the first time the car was designed as a whole, with body, hood, fenders, and running boards integrated into a smoothly executed design which has for years been regarded as one of the most attractive bodies of the era. The twelfth series cars – and the nearly identical fourteenth series cars that followed in 1936 also marked the end of the line for 17 inch wire wheels and the traditional double blade bumpers with hydraulic dampers. The fourteenth series also sloped their radiators an additional five degrees, for what many considered a more attractive look. The example offered here displays the very attractive Convertible Victoria body style. When new, this Packard was one of the most attractive body styles available, and today, resplendent in its cream paintwork, tan convertible top and red leather interior, it remains equally impressive. The elegant lines of the body are accentuated by brown pinstriping along the belt line. In addition, the car is equipped with a Packard Cormorant hood ornament, a windshield mounted side view mirror, an accessory trunk rack bumper, and clock. The Convertible Victoria is one of the most desirable of the Fourteenth Series Packards and for the fortunate few whose privileged circumstances provided them with the necessary means, Packard was there to provide them with transportation. by Douglas
