Nineteen thirty-three saw the introduction of numerous enhancements for Lincoln’s superb Model KB, including a revised and improved chassis, thermostatic shock absorbers, a new transmission, and adjustable-pressure four-wheel brakes, as well as subtly skirted fenders that debuted early in the season.

Only 533 KBs were made this year, including fifteen as the handsome “semi-custom” Convertible Sedan by Dietrich, style number 261, featuring clean and beautifully proportioned lines accented by a convex beltline molding and Dietrich’s signature opening vee’d windshield.

Adams at the CCCA Annual Meeting at Buck Hill Falls...
