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.

The club participated in the field tent with the other Lincoln clubs. The diner and AGM were held at the Hershey Lodge with 42 guests attending. See the Documents tab under Events and the Photo Album for more information.

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.
