The Sedan was the Luscombe Company's entry into the medium-performance four-place general aviation market.

Powered by a 165 hp Continental engine, the rugged 11-A was capable of rough-field operations, although it did exhibit some strange landing characteristics. The airplane had an elevator travel limiter that kept the pilot from reaching critical angle of attack and stalling. Although the travel limiter did prevent spins, it also made it hard to arrest the high sink rate usually associated with power-off full-stall approaches and landings. Therefore, since the aircraft is best flown at a flat angle, wheel landings seem to be the safest way to go. The original market thrust for the Sedan had been in the flying-farmer field, but sales just didn't materialize. So Luscombe dressed up the Sedan and detailed its interior to attract family airplane consumers. The effort was largely wasted, however, as sales increased very little. Today the Model 11-A is quite uncommon and is mostly seen at airshows or fly-ins.
