The Ford Barn

I went to the Havana car museum in Cuba a couple years ago and saw a 1930 Model A tudor with a " Baby Lincoln Detroit" badge on the radiator shell

I allways thought this was just a nickname! Did Ford sell cars under this name?

I will try to post some photo's

Either a modern fantasy piece or the most rare Model "A" ever! Those headlights are certainly not Model "A".

Looks like a 68C Cabriolet to me.

That mascot looks like it would fit on a Model T !! So now we may be getting somewhere , As the T was the brunt of many jokes maybe you could buy the baby lincoln mascot to put on it as a joke !! and then the rad badge for the A was sold later on .
I don't know but I have puzzled over it since I saw it 2 years ago . I recently found the Ford Barn site and thought someone on here will know
