This 1928 Lincoln Willoughby 7 Passenger Limousine is a great original car, with excellent history and long ownership by Lincoln hobby greats Powels, Passey and Henkels!  It’s mentioned in a section of Jack Passey’s book,  and is believed to be the car exhibited at the November 1927 New York Auto Salon

.

Here it is on the Field at Pebble Beach in 2007.

.

6 Wire wheels with chrome spokes, side mount mirrors, and the wonderful Owl Spotlight!

.

Stunning side view, note the oval doorhandles, and the angled windshield panes and visor – to reduce glare and reflections for the chauffer.

.

The coachwork is super straight, and everything fits beautifully.  Those doors fit and shut like a bank vault, with that great click-thunk sound.

.

The Spotlight really makes a great impression!

.

Also note the black original horn on the driver’s side

.

and the beautiful Lincoln greyhound mascot.

.

It looks great, and it drives nicely too!

.

Formal and wonderful

.

The Wire Wheel Corporation of America – from Buffalo NY – hence the nickname “Buffalo Wire Wheels”.   Duesenberg used them too!

.

Beautiful – and original! – wool broadcloth interior, done in the “Cathedral” style.  This interior is astonishingly nice,  and all original

.

Here’s one of the two jumpseats for those additional passengers!

.

This luxurious trim and upholstery shows the Willoughby talent

.

Both Jumpseats and a view of the Slider Division window

.

Combined courtesy lamp and vent –  you know, for all that cigar smoke that the wealthy owners puffed while being driven around!

.

And here’s the vent out the roof!

.

On the right side, there’s a microphone for speaking to the Chauffer

.

More of the microphone, on it’s spring-loaded wire.

.

And here’s where the Chauffer gets to work – note the speaker horn between the top of the front seats. The leather interior was redone in the recent past, correctly and nicely.

.

Excellent dashboard !

.

That handle to the right of the instruments controls the Owl Spotlight

.

Excellent front compartment

.

The Lincoln V-8 runs great, and is the original engine to this car – the engine number matches the firewall plate.

.

Starts easily and runs nicely, with great oil pressure and all the power it should have

.

Note the downdraft intake manifold and Holley Carburetor – this setup was originally made in the 1960’s to make these cars breathe better.  We have the original updraft components that are included with this car.

.

These components are included in case you want to return the carburetor to original.

.

Delco Starter/Generator works properly, as dose the shaft driven water pump.

.

.

Tools are included under the front seat

.

Tool Roll un-rolled

.

The Willoughby Body tag

.

Tidy underneath

.

Gas tank and rear axle

.

Trunk with luggage

.

A great original car, ready to enjoy now!
