We just finished the revival of a 1936 Lincoln K convertible sedan. This car has been parked for a number of years but had been completely restored some 50 years ago. It has won multiple awards and remains in remarkable condition. We have rebuilt the fuel system including the removal and cleaning of the fuel tank, a rebuilt fuel pump and carburetor, repacked water pump and flushing of the cooling system, brake adjustment and 4 new tires.
The starter and generator have each been refreshed and a new battery installed.
The car runs very well and the V 12 engine has tremendous power and low speed torque. It will be for sale in the near future.

Today we attended John Beard's funeral. he worked with us at the garage for more than 12 years. He enjoyed being here and we enjoyed his company and workmanship. Yearly jaunts to the Hershy flea market in October with 3 generations of John Beards was an annual event for several years. He had been suffering from Parkinson's disease.

The best Model A I have ever driven- Bill Sharpe's 1928 Tudor. We rode up to Trexlertown for a Model A meet yesterday ( A 2 hour trip). The car never missed a beat and was smooth and comfortable. It features a Mitchell overdrive and radial tires on 16" wheels. He allowed me to drive it for the last 20 miles of the trip.
