1929 Lincoln Model L Brunn Brougham Town Car

This Lincoln Town Car was ordered new by Joseph Madden of Omaha, Nebraska as an anniversary gift for his wife. The Madden family owned a successful dry goods store that they sold out to J.C. Penney. Each year the car was shipped to Florida for their use during the winter and shipped back to Omaha in the spring. They sold the car in 1940 with only 8,000 miles on it. When gas rationing began during World War II, the Lincoln was put into storage until 1954.

The car currently has 12,000 original miles on it.
