Overview
1937 Lincoln V12
Price: USD $56,5001937 Lincoln Model K V12 Convertible
Introducing a rare 1937 Lincoln Model K V12 Convertible Sedan with Divider Window, finished in an elegant two-tone Cordova Brown over Cream that suits the cars formal prewar presence perfectly.
This Model K represents Lincolns flagship luxury offering of the era, built for buyers who wanted size, refinement, and dignity above all else. The long wheelbase and convertible sedan body give it a commanding look, while classic design elements - flowing fenders, wide running boards, and period chrome - anchor it firmly in the late 1930s.
Highlights:
- Rare Retractable Divider Window (Chauffeur-Style)
- L-Head V12 Engine with Manual Transmission
- Tan Brougham Style Folding Top
- Rear-Hinged (Suicide Doors)
- Teardrop Headlamps + Dual Fog/Driving Lamps
- Wide Whitewalls with Period Lincoln Hubcaps
- Side-Mounted Spare Tire
Under the hood sits the period-correct L-head V12 engine, paired with a manual transmission and a Stromberg single-barrel carburetor. The engine bay presents with period-correct components, and the car retains its single exhaust outlet.
One of the standout features is the retractable glass divider window, an optional and rarely seen feature typically associated with chauffeur-driven cars. This partition adds both character and historical interest, reinforcing the Model Ks role as a true luxury sedan of its time. The rear-hinged (suicide-style) rear doors further emphasize the formal sedan layout and ease of rear passenger access.
The exterior is accented by large teardrop-shaped headlamps mounted into the front fenders, along with dual fog/driving lamps mounted low at the front. A tan canvas Brougham-style folding top completes the look and contrasts nicely with the body color. The car rides on wide whitewall tires with color-matched steel wheels and period-correct Lincoln V12 hubcaps, and the side-mounted spare tire adds to its classic profile. Chrome bumpers, glove box, and correct trim details remain in place.
For historical context, when new in 1937, this Model K would have cost approximately $5,500 - $6,000, at a time when many luxury buyers were choosing the smaller Lincoln Zephyr at roughly $1,200. That price difference - nearly the cost of a suburban home during the Great Depression - helps explain why so few were built and why surviving examples are seldom seen today.
This is a rare opportunity to own a vintage Lincoln with desirable features, classic presence, and authentic period charm. The car has just come out of storage and is currently not running, but it presents an exciting project for an enthusiast looking to bring a piece of prewar luxury back to life. For $56,500
