Vehicle Description
This 1951 Lincoln Sedan is true classic luxury with an authentic
style everywhere from the suicide doors to the flathead V8 under
the hood.
The Lincoln EL-series is quite special. It's closely related to the
Mercury Eight we all love for that slippery shape that's perfect
for the iconic Lead Sled look. You see that here with the sleek
lines that have special features like the full-length trim, fender
skirts, and headlights that look frenched from the factory. And
this one has all the best classic elements - from whitewall tires,
to the gold trim hood ornament, to suicide doors. The chrome
bumpers are a masterwork that wraparound the sides. And the front
one is accompanied by the grille to be a big and bright symbol of
1950s design. You see this brightwork so well because it tastefully
contrasts against the maroon paint. It's a nice application that
has a classic aged-in look that still offers a deep shine - so it
ideally upholds the established sophistication you want in a
classic Lincoln.
The exterior maroon returns inside, and now it's joined by a
terrific-looking tan. The seats, door panels, headliner, and
carpeting all have the look and feeling of quality. We especially
love the supple leather of the stylish two-tone seats, and the door
panels were even done to match. These two rows of wide benches are
as comfortable as a living room sofa. In fact, the rear has side
armrests and a fold-down middle one to make riding in back feel
like an armchair experience. The dash continues the color theme,
and it has great features like the art deco gauges and a stylish
classic steering wheel. It's a total presentation you'll happily
share with anyone who appreciates vintage luxury as much as you
do.
Under the hood is a marvel of its time. The only cars that got the
large 337 cubic-inch Flathead V8 were Lincolns because they wanted
the premium division to never go wanting for power. It has a very
honest, original, and tidy presentation in the engine bay that will
draw a crowd of survivor fans. But as you dig deeper, you'll see
the right key upgrades. After all, a 12-volt electrical system and
alternator upgrade are always handy in a true cruising classic. So
it has the look of untouched, but it runs with a confidence that
tells you it has been looked after correctly. This V8 is paired
with a four-speed automatic transmission and a soft ride to deliver
a classic Lincoln that continues to have a great cruising
attitude.
This is the distinct sedan that has a terrific vintage attitude. So
at a price like this, you'll want to hurry up and call today!
