Luscombe 11 Sedan for Sale — The Four-Seat Luscombe
The Luscombe 11 Sedan is the four-seat evolution of the Luscombe formula — taking the Model 8's pioneering all-metal construction and honest handling character and scaling them to accommodate a pilot and three passengers in a practical touring aircraft. The Sedan represents Don Luscombe's ambition to move the company beyond the two-seat market into the growing demand for family-capable personal aircraft in the postwar era. Production was limited and the type is considerably rarer than the ubiquitous Model 8, making airworthy Luscombe 11 examples genuine collector pieces that combine practical utility with significant historical interest.
Luscombe 11 Characteristics
The Luscombe 11 retains the all-metal construction that distinguished the Model 8 from fabric-covered contemporaries, with the Continental C-165 or C-170 engine providing adequate power for the four-seat mission. The aircraft's relatively modest production numbers — compared to the thousands of Model 8s that populate the vintage aircraft market — give it a rarity value that collectors of early all-metal American aircraft particularly appreciate. Finding a well-maintained Luscombe 11 Sedan on Airplane Trade represents an opportunity to own one of the less commonly encountered postwar American touring aircraft.
