The Lincoln Ls, Ks, KAs, and KBs are formidable automobiles. There's good reason why a new '28 L cost as much as ten '28 Model As, much of why is revealed on the video. The attached photo is of my '31 K sport phaeton in its new home in the Lincoln Motor Car Foundation in Hickory Corners, MI.

The part that is hard getting used to is having a mouth full of tacks.

woodiewagon46, as I understand, upholsterers have used magnetic tack hammers like forever. I still remember my own mother using that method while reupholstering our own dining room chairs back in the late 40's. I think I still have her tack hammer, but haven't seen it in years. No, she wasn't a pro, she was however, skilled in trades normally reserved for men back in the day, and never hesitated in tackling something new. I think I inherited my skills from her, as my father wouldn't change a flat tire.

I agree, great video! I have to laugh at assembly line workers wearing white shirts, ties and even vests. My favorite was the guy at 42:50 installing the top material using a magnetic hammer and a retrieving the tacks from his mouth! With his white shirt and bow tie he reminded me of the waiter I had Saturday night. Anyone from O.S.H.A. that watched the video must be shocked at the way it was.

Thank you. That was the most enjoyable hour I've spent in the last 20 years.

I put this on the Lincoln forum, but I think all Ford lovers will enjoy it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aP8spBrMHl8
