The restoration of this Lincoln was started in the mid-1970s using NOS parts and was completed in approximately 2019. This Lincoln K-series LeBaron roadster with body type 214, number 15-319 reportedly was the vehicle used for the 1931 Lincoln glossy catalog and comes finished in its original Custom Winter Moss lacquer paint. The selling dealer states that the paint is in presentable condition with minor spiderweb cracks. The body features chrome bumpers, dark green fenders, chrome headlight casings, dual horns, a chrome grille, a 4-piece hood, dual side-mounted spares, and cowl lamps.
