Rare Custom-Built Lincoln Now on Display in Museum
One of most unique Lincolns ever built is now on display at the Lincoln Motor Car Heritage Museum—a one-off 1929 Lincoln LeBaron Aero Phaeton. It features a polished aluminum body inspired by aircraft design. The owner is Stan Lucas of Long Beach, California, owner of Lucas Classic Tires who owns several Classic Lincolns. The car was custom-built by LeBaron Carrossiers for display at the 1929 Automobile Salons. It was priced at $10,000. Only one was built. After its appearance at the salons it was sold to an aviation executive and eventually was re-sold to a private collector in the Pacific Northwest. A few years ago it came up for sale and was acquired by Mr. Lucas. “Stan has been a solid financial supporter of the Lincoln Motor Car Foundation and this is another special way he has demonstrated his support,” said David Schultz, LMCF Chairman. “This is a wonderful opportunity for vintage automobile enthusiasts to see this rare automobile.”
