A joint Eastern Meet with the LOC and LZOC, May 7 - 10, 2026

Early May is a beautiful time in coastal Virginia. Driving our Lincolns on the local roads through the historic towns around the Rappahannock River basin will make it all the more special.
We have booked the entire Chesapeake Inn in Urbanna for our group, so save the date and plan to attend.
We have arranged to tour several private historic plantation homes which date back to 1600 and 1700’s and involved many colonial political leaders.
Day 1 Arrive in Urbanna, evening reception at Sandwich (Robert Montages home).
Day 2 A loop tour of about 90 miles following the Rappahannock River Tidewater Trail.
Day 3 We drive South, on a loop of about 80 miles, passing through Gloucester, past the Toddsbury estate and stopping at Newstead to view that home and a car collection. More driving takes us to our lunch stop on the grounds of Rosewell Plantation on the York River.
Day 4 After breakfast, tour more on your own or head home.

The club participated in the field tent with the other Lincoln clubs. The diner and AGM were held at the Hershey Lodge with 39 guests attending. See the Documents tab under Events and the Photo Album for more information.

Dear Trustees and Friends of The Lincoln Motor Car Heritage Museum & Research Foundation,

We just learned of David's passing last night. We have lost a giant of a man in the Old Car World - his experience with the Classic Car Club of America and later the Lincoln Motor Car Heritage Museum
was of great benefit to all he touched. He was a careful historian, a consummate editor and writer of all things vintage automobiles. He loved all classic cars, but especially the big L and K Lincolns from the Classic Era, A Master Chief Judge at Pebble Beach and Amelia Island and yet he had a contempt for car trophies!
If there is a monument to David Schultz you seek, look but around you - it is the Museum itself. He is there in the prose written on the kiosks, in the 1929 Lincoln Aero Phaeton that is a reminder of his friendship with Stan Lucas, in so many details that make the Lincoln Museum special and loved.
Thank you David Schultz, we appreciate you!

On December 18th the clubs officers presented the first David Schultz Greyhound Award. We thought it only right that David himself should be the first recipient of the award.
In so doing we recognize, not only his valuable leadership and ongoing support of the club, but especially the example that he shows to us all; that of driving your Classic Lincoln long distances is not only possible but FUN. So we decided to backdate the first award to 2023, the year he drove his 1931 Town Sedan (type 204) from your home in Ohio to Hawley, Pennsylvania and back.

We presented this award to David Schultz as a token of how much we appreciate his contribution to the Club and the advancement of driving efforts.

For full details on future presentations of this annual award see the DOCUMENT section.

Bill and Dee Kuettel have been hosting the West Coast Lincoln Meet for nearly 30 years. This event is held every year on the Friday before the Pebble Beach Concours d’ Elegance.
To honor Bill’s efforts, a special award was created by our Editor Greg Bilpuch who then sent it out to the West Coast so that it could be presented to Bill. A surprise luncheon was set up to be timed with the Lincoln Owners Club (LOC) President, Bill Wybenga’s trip to the area on February 13th.
Attendees at the lunch were club members Bill Kuettel, Bill and Rita Wybenga, Bob Sohl, Dana Morgan, and Peder and Maria Jorgensen. Bill Kuettel’s friend and chauffeur for the day was Sammy Roye.

Lincoln enthusiasts came from as far away as Norway and Finland—and from throughout the United States and Canada—to celebrate the centennial of Ford Motor Company’s purchase of the Lincoln Motor Company. Although most auto historians know that the Lincoln Motor Company was founded in 1920 to build automobiles, Ford Motor Company chose 2022 to celebrate the brand’s centennial because Ford had acquired Lincoln in February 1922.
The primary celebration took place on August 10 - 14 at the Lincoln Motor Car Heritage Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan but was preceded by optional pre-Homecoming events in Dearborn, Michigan on August 7 - 10. Complete details and photos are in the current issue of The Fork & Blade.

A small number of 1931 Lincoln K parts are available from the Lincoln Motor Car Foundation. The parts were donated by an member who is completing the restoration of his car. Funds from the sale will go to the LMCF Endowment Fund, which ensures the continued operation of the Lincoln Motor Car Heritage Museum.

A complete registry of all extant Lincolns has been underway for several months by two dedicated Lincoln Owners Club members.
Linus Tremaine, who serves as the LOC West Coast vice president, is working on the L Registry, which includes Lincolns built between 1920 and 1930. Kai Laine, the club's European correspondent, is working on the K Registry, which includes the K, KA and KB models built between 1931 and 1939.
The registries will include all known Lincolns, including those not currently owned by LOC members. To that end, Linus and Kai will require the assistance of LOC members. If you're contacted by them please supply them with the information they need.
