The 1930 Lincoln Brougham is one of the most interesting cars in the museum’s collection. Its V8 engine was designed by Lincoln founder Henry Leland. He modeled it after the Liberty airplane engine, which he designed for the government during WWI. This 7-person town car was not cheap, costing $7,000 compared to a new Ford, which went for about $500. If you look closely, you can see a silver plated greyhound on the radiator, representing grace, speed, and stamina.
