Lincoln Brougham Sedan, 1934

01

Artifact Overview

Lincoln, like all upmarket automakers, suffered during the Great Depression. The company went from an annual production of 7,641 for 1929 to just 2,411 for 1934 -- and it would fall farther. A four-door, seven-passenger V-12 Brougham like this one started at $6,800. Many customers couldn't even afford $585 for a new four-door Ford, much less a pricey Lincoln.
