With new styling came increased salesand the revised 385ci V8 was among the smoothest, most powerful andlargest engines that money could buy. For its sophomore year, theK-Series Lincolns split into two distinct subcategories: the KA,powered by last years V8 and riding on a 136 wheelbase, and the newflagship KB, powered by an all-new Lincoln/Ford 382ci V12 andriding on an extended 145 wheelbase. In 1934, the V12 was enlargedto 414ci and became the standard engine across the entire Model Kline-up, which now distinguished KA and KB by wheelbase. 1934Lincolns arrived with fresh sheet metal that bore resemblance tothe 1934 Ford, only on a larger and more extravagant scale.Production totaled only 2,149 cars and was primarily limited tothose requiring not only transportation but also a vehicle thatmade a statement. These cars remain incredibly collectible todayfor their clean lines, driving experience and their V12 heart,which to this day could be argued as one of Americas best pre-warexamples! 1934 Lincoln KA522-A Info: We are excited to offer thisLincoln Model KA 522-A 3-Window 2/4 Passenger Rumble Seat Coupe!This particular example is finished in Black with a cashmerepinstripe over Tan mohair interior with hand-laid burled hardwoodon the doors and dash.

According todocumentation, the car was ordered in December of 1933 anddelivered in sunny Pasadena, California to Vito & JosephiCimmarusti of Glendale in February 1934. They owned the vehicleuntil 1990 and it was serviced the last 30 years with family friendSarge Schreiber, who would be the next owner to claim ownershiprights when he purchased it with only 41,000 miles. It would go onto have several other owners (counting five in total) untilarriving here in St. Louis. The Grand Lady has been consistentlyowned by Lincoln Owners Club members and has been shownextensively, taking home several best-in-class awards, mostrecently at the 2014 Western National Meet in Tacoma, Washington,where it received a sizable trophy for winning Best PrimaryDivision honors (1921-1940 model years). The car is said to havebeen restored by Dick Scritchfield of Burbank, California some timeago and the single stage enamel paint can almost assure that it hasbeen the better part of several decades since completion. Despitethe limited mileage, time often proves to get the better of oldmachines and the several previous owners made their best efforts tomake sure this car runs as good as it looks. We have over $45,000in receipts beginning in December of 2010 that include majoroverhauls of almost every mechanical component of the car. In early2011, the engine was bored .020 over with new valves and springs,zinc anodes installed, resurfaced heads, reconditioned rods/pistonsand a rebuild of the original carburetor. The oil pan and fuel tankwere removed and boiled and complemented with brand new fuel linesand pump. In late 2011, new gears were cut (ORF Corp.) for the rearend to improve highway cruising and the entire Timken 4200 rearaxle was rebuilt and reinstalled. The brakes, cooling and oilsystems were all rebuilt as well, comprising of a flushed radiator,rebuilt thermostat, and replacing of any and all frayed wires underthe dash and hood. Through 2012-2013, the exhaust and many smallsuspension components were replaced with NOS units to ensure bothcorrectness and fit and finish. The car remains in outstandingmechanical condition and is a pleasure to see in person. The paintand chrome could be called very good, especially considering theirage. Upon closer inspection, it is possible to see the effects ofthe older enamel paint only in select areas but the car remainsextremely presentable and the next owner wont be bashful to takethe car to any Lincoln or pre-war judged events.
