1932 Lincoln KA 507-A 7 Passenger Sedan 1 of 508 built CCCA Qualified Coachwork by Murray 385 flat-head V-8 making 125hp Suicide doors True California car Full restoration completed by Lincoln dealership in 1980s Used in 1984 Olympic Games in LA Retains original 1932 California license plate MotoeXotica is pleased to announce our latest offering, an immaculate 1932 Lincoln KA 507-A 7 Passenger Sedan with coachwork by Murray. Founded in 1917 and bought by long-term owner Ford Motor Company in 1922, Lincoln became one of Americas finest luxury automobile manufactures. Unable to sell high-end automobiles under the Ford name, Henry Ford began his luxury car ambitions with his newly acquired Lincoln Motor Company. The KA-Series was the first all new model under their new ownership with Ford. Striving to compete with the competition of Peerless, Packard, Pierce-Arrow, Duesenberg, and most importantly Cadillac the KA-Series had to be a new standard for American luxury automobiles and so it was. Powered by a remodel 385 flat-head V-8 from the previous L-Series it produced 125hp; the all new Stromberg dual-barrel down draft carburetor and re-machined heads allowed Fords engineers to obtain the power increase. To complement the revised engine Lincoln set other industry standards by using new fork-an-blade engine rods, an 3 piece cast iron block, torque-tube drive transmission, floating rear axle, worm-and-roller steeling, hydraulic shocks, mechanical fuel pump, and finally to complete these improvements an entirely new stronger chassis. However these improvements didnt come cheap, with an original price of $3300 before options it was unobtainable for most of Americans. MotoeXoticas 1932 KA Lincoln is a beautiful surviving example of Henry Fords ambitions of producing luxury automobiles. Originally owned by a California gentleman, and then sold to a Ford & Lincoln dealer in San Diego who performed a frame-off restoration for display in the dealership. We believe the restoration and display was performed at now defunct City Ford & Lincoln in San Diego, although there is no definitive proof. Its California history continued with use in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Parade ceremony as a parade car for athletes. Post parade it was then placed in climate controlled storage, until the owners decided to sell. Still in the deep wine paint with burnt red accents and pin striping, the car looks stunning. Overall the paint is in great condition, with the only issue being hairline stress cracks on both rear passenger suicide door hinges. Exterior chrome is, also, in great condition showing no signs of its true age. Murrays coachwork body panels are straight and show no signs of dents or scratches, as well as, the vinyl roof material. Grabbing attention first the original Gorham Silversmiths Greyhound hood ornament is in perfect condition; truly setting this Lincoln off from the anything else on the road. Sure to move other motorists clear of its path the booming horn serves its purpose; along with functioning running lights, high beams, taillights, and windshield wipers. Continuing the elegance of the exterior, tan cloth seats, door panels, and carpets fill the car in warmth and are in great condition too. Every accessory functions and looks almost as good as when originally driven off the showroom floor. A Waltham clock inlaid into the fully functioning art deco dash cluster reminds the driver what era this car was manufactured in. Surrounding the occupants handmade wood accents and trim adds heritage to the interior, as well as, it is in ideal condition. Mechanically sound in all functions, the flat-head V-8 has no problem matching todays traffic conditions with grace. Easily gliding through the three forward gears, with first and second used for low speed and third as an overdrive for highway cruising. Stopping all 5,435lbs takes some time and confidence but the oversize mechanical drum brakes allows the driver to build confidence after some seat time with in the car. Being Classic Car Club of America (CCCA) approved the original 1932 California license plate adds to the history of the car and is a rare bonus. This Lincoln is truly a spectacular model and will hold its own in any concourse Delegance.
