1939 Lincoln Lebaron K9666. The last great K show car, and the 5th to last Lincoln K ever produced. It is one of 6 Lebaron Convertible Sedans produced in this final year of production. Model designation 413-A, with divider window, and in 5 passenger configuration. K9666 was the N.Y. salon show car in 1939, and would have therefore been the car shown at the 1939 N.Y.C. Worlds Fair, in the Ford Lincoln Pavilion. It came from the factory in Butternut Yellow with Red pinstripes! The original owner purchased the car in NYC and immediately had it painted black, with his initials on the rear doors, RHC for Roscoe H. Channing. Roscoe was a mining tycoon and partner of Cornelius Vanderbilt. He drove K9666 to Tuscon in 1940. I have his notebook which I discovered in the rear door pocket stating such. The car would remain in Tuscon until the 1970s when it was purchased from his estate and became a permanent part of the great Jack Passey's collection in California. Jack is affectionately known as Mr. Lincoln, and is credited with saving dozens of these great cars. The car has approximately 21,000 original miles. Ample power. I have owned numerous Lincoln Ks , and this one pulls very strong. It will require the usual lite work to make it tour ready, heads cleaned up, radiator cleaned, carb cleaned, and service the brakes. It's a 90 year old car that has never been apart but has been very VERY well preserved! K9666 was awarded Best Original Car at the 2017 CCCA PNW Concours. The car is featured in Jack Passey's book 'For the love of old cars', attached, and the trunk is filled with ribbons and such from when Jack showed the car at Pebble Beach some years back. Arguably the best original example remaining, with the final Lincoln K salon provenance. $100k to LOC members only at this point. 360-775-7970
