Vehicle Original VIN : 11741
[ omitted ]. It was replaced during 1930 by the Model K.
Assembly of the L series took place in Detroit, Michigan.
In financial trouble, Leland sold the company to Henry Ford February 4, 1922, for $8 million ($129,510,934 in 2021 dollars), the amount determined by the judge presiding over the receivership Arthur J. Tuttle. Henry Leland valued the company at over $16 million. After a few months the Leland's left the company because of Henry Ford's managerial style and his son, Edsel Ford, designed a new body for the L series. Edsel became president and Ernest C. Kanzler general manager. The L series was a robust car. In the first year, hydraulic shock absorbers were added. Edsel and Kanzler implemented production economies, trimming manufacturing costs by about $1000 per car.
Aside from the extension of the wheelbase from 130 to 136 inches, the chassis of the Lincoln Model L saw few major changes; the 60-degree L-head V8 remained in production. [ omitted ]. The cylinders in both banks are also not offset from each other.
For 1923, several new body styles were introduced for the Model L under the direction of Edsel, including two and three-window four-door sedans, and a four-passenger phaeton. Other vehicles included a two-passenger roadster, and a $5,200 ($82,702 in 2021 dollars) seven-passenger touring sedan and limousine. A sedan, limousine, cabriolet, and town car were also offered by coachbuilders LeBron, Fleetwood, Judkins, Dirham, Holbrook, Willoughby and Dietrich, and a second cabriolet was offered by coachbuilder Brun. Vehicles built by these coachbuilders went for as much as $7,200; despite the relatively niche market segment, Lincoln sales rose about 45 percent to produce 7,875 cars and the company was operating at a profit by the end of 1923.
