1927 Lincoln Coaching Brougham by Judkins

Symbolic of the days when gentry of England and America found enjoyment if fine horsedrawn coaches, the Coaching Brougham by Judkins represents an interpretation of the automobile as a carriage. The exterior colors mimic an authentic carriage color scheme of Coaching Yellow and Black, with Red striping. The interior is a reproduction of earlier Concord coaches with tufted upholstery, dark green imported Morocco leather and red plush trimmings. The car is powered by Lincoln's 90-hp V-8 and is capable of 80 miles per hour.

This one-of-a-kind automobile was built by Lincoln to be displayed for the 1926 - 1927 season. It was first unveiled in late 1926 at the New York Automobile Show, thereafter exibited at the Hotel Drake in Chicago and then the Hotel Biltmore in Los Angeles.

After the Los Angeles show, the car was sold to a private party whose daughter used the car for publicity purposes in furthering a short-lived Hollywood career. During this period, the car was used in a movie starring W.C. Fields.

In 1931, the Lincoln was purchased by the McMillan Petroleum Company which used the car as a publicity vehicle for the original Beverly Hill Billies, a musical group sponsored by McMillan.
