A 1936 Lincoln Model K semi-custom convertible sedan, one of only 30 built on the Model K chassis by coachbuilder LeBaron. Originally delivered in Pasadena, California, the car is associated with the Wrigley family and reportedly spent time on their Millionaire Row estate. For much of the following seven decades it was displayed in a notable private museum owned by Art Astor, before being sold in 2008. It has since received a sympathetic cosmetic restoration retaining much of its original interior.
