Seems to potentially be an accidental hoax? There doesn't seem to be a "Lincoln Sport" vehicle but rather a possible confusion with the Lincoln L series through any of the following:

• "Sport Phaeton", a body style which seems to be from both the Lincoln L series and Lincoln K series: 1, 2, 3
• This article does mention a "two-passenger roadster" model though is not given a name; the model, along with a "four-passenger phaeton" are both referred to as "sport cars" presumably part of the Lincoln L series but are not shown to have an actual model name.
• This advertisement for a used "1922 LINCOLN SPORT MODEL" is interesting, though the most likely scenario is that the particular vehicle is just being referred to as a "sport model" rather than actually being named the "Lincoln Sport". This also seemed to have happened with the Lincoln phaeton model, same with this "Lincoln Sport Sedan".

I've looked at newspaper sources from around the time and what seems to be the probable case from what I have gathered is that the "Lincoln Sport" is not an actual car model, but rather the case is that certain Lincoln models at the time were just referred to as "sport models", such as their phaetons, sedans, or even roadsters.

Here are some additional newspaper clippings: "Lincoln Sport Sedan", "Lincoln Sport Touring", "Lincoln four-passenger sport model", "Lincoln sport roadster", "Lincoln sport model", "Lincoln sport model sedan", "Lincoln sport model cars" B3251 (talk) 01:00, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - all the references use "sport" as an adjective, as indicated by the fact that it is not capitalized in the body of text. The only one I see that even hints at this being a model name is this advert; it may be that one of the Judkins bodystyles was indeed called a Sport Sedan, but that also doesn't make it a model name. None of the links discovered by B3251 could be considered to meet WP:N or WP:RS.

Furthermore, no one has contributed any actual content to this article since it was created in 2006, because there was no such car. The only change aside from formatting changes was when an IP changed 1930s to 1920s back in 2009.  Mr.choppers | ✎  12:33, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - by all appearances a non-existent model based on a misinterpretation of something. --Sable232 (talk) 01:34, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
