History

For 1937 Lincoln still offered the Model K with 17 custom body styles beside the Zephyr. The 1937 cars had streamlined teardrop headlamps, V-front windscreens, a more simply creased body and a V12 with hydraulic lifters set further forward. RM Sotheby's says 12 convertible sedans with style 363A were built in 1937; conceptcarz gives 37 examples for the same body, and an RM lot says 30 LeBaron convertible sedans were built in 1936.
