Default Lincoln Motor Car 100th Anniversary event

At this weekend's annual Lincoln homecoming event at the Lincoln Motor Car Foundation Museum in Hickory Corners, MI, coincident with the 100th Anniversary of the Lincoln motor car, my donation of my newly-restored (just) '31 phaeton was announced becoming part of their permanent collection. Needless to say, the end product is the work of many talented hands with my mine only bringing up the rear.

Great job David.
What an opportunity to enhance the museum.
Look forward to seeing it during the 2023 60th Anniversary Diamond Jubilee Grand National Meet of the Early Ford V-8 Club, when they tour Gilmore.

And another WOW from a barner that shows up with some hillbilly jalopies for the most part. I have worked for a living with my hands for over 50 years and I can only imagine what it takes to bring a 90 year old car back to that level. AND, how great that you didn't offer it to the highest bidder, but instead, to an organization that will share it to the public. Two enthusiastic thumbs up to you, and that Lincoln!!!!!
