Hi Mike,
I remember your grandfather well. What a great guy. I used to go on the CCCA CARavans every year in the 1960s and '70s, and he, too, was on them with that car. The thing that was unique about that car was that it was pretty much all original, and was always scoring in the mid 90-point range at Grand Classics.
I'll ask around and see if anyone knows where this car is today. I sort of recall seeing a similar car, if not the same car, in California.

Thank you for the kind words about my Grandfather and the effort to ask around about the car. I am looking forward to "hear" what you find out.

Mike,
My Lincoln source knows the car, knew your grandfather, but says the car has disappeared from the radar screen.

Local lore . . . Dick sold it to someone in Missouri and that the last he heard they had it sitting in a field. He was sick about it and thought about trying to buy it back but never did. . . .not sure if he sold it while still in Indiana or after he retired/moved to FL.

Hello Mike,
My grandfather owns a 1931 Lincoln limousine. It is his second most prized vehicle. His first is his 1928 Lincoln. He spent years searching for this vehicle because it was produced the same year he was born (1928). However, the 1931 Lincoln limousine was the "get-away car" at my wedding, as well as at both of my older brothers' weddings. It was also used to take my sister to her Senior prom. Needless to say, it is a special car in our family. I would love to find out if this is indeed your grandfather's car. I will try to do some research to find out when/where he bought it.

That is not the car. Dick Chapman's car was a limousine, and yours is a town car.

The only 1931 Lincoln in the photos is the brown fendered Lebaron convertible Roadster sharing space with the that Model L open front car.
Notice the stair case on the fender, three steps into the rumble seat!
