John Wayne and his new 1931 Lincoln Model K Sedan
1931 Southern California, Actor John Wayne with actress Constance Cummings pictured here with John's new purchase, a 1931 Lincoln Model K Sedan
1931 was a pivotal year for the Lincoln Motor Company as it marked the introduction of the critically important Model K. The outgoing Model L had been a mainstay of the marque for many years, though it was clear that it had reached the end of its development in an increasingly competitive luxury car market. With a new chassis, fresh new styling and a revised V8 engine, the Model K would lead Lincoln into the new era, and it would serve as Ford Motor Company’s proud flagship throughout the 1930s. |

My stepdad was shipping out of Honolulu in 1951 and he and his fellow Navy shipmates were drinking in the Ala Moana Hotel's bar. Duke Wayne came in, shook my stepdad's hand, along with the seamen around him, and bought the whole room a round of drinks. My stepdad said Wayne was every bit as friendly and sincere and passionate as he was in the movies. He told them he appreciated what they were doing by going to Korea.
