Our customer offers for sale a 1929 Lincoln Club Roadster, Model 165, an iconic pre-war vehicle representing timeless elegance. Powered by a 2,800cc inline-eight engine paired with a manual transmission, this convertible embodies craftsmanship from a golden era. The car underwent a restoration starting in 1999, including a repaint and restoration of its wooden interior elements and aluminum panels. It features unique period touches, such as spare tire covers and custom wooden accessory boxes.
The car’s paintwork, while described as clean, may show minor chips or scratches upon close inspection. The leather interior has been professionally refreshed by a specialist and has some signs of use, maintaining its vintage appeal. Mechanically, the vehicle is solid but has not been driven for several years, potentially requiring service work to ensure optimal performance.
The Lincoln Club Roadster, introduced during the late 1920s, stood out for its luxurious design and advanced engineering. Produced in limited numbers, this Model 165 features a distinctive blend of style and utility, making it a coveted piece of automotive history. Known for its durable V8 engine and detailed craftsmanship, the Club Roadster was marketed to discerning buyers seeking refinement and performance. This particular example, one of only two known in Europe with its specifications, captures the grandeur of its time.
