Cosmopolitan.......
Lincoln was founded in 1908, by Henry M. Leland, the former head of
Cadillac Motors. The Lincoln was targeted to those fortunate enough
to possess the wealth and wanted to flaunt it. It would soon become
a major competitor with the likes of Cadillac, Duesenberg, Marmon,
Pierce-Arrow and Packard.
1949 was significant to the Ford and Lincoln lines due to the
introduction of the 1949 Ford and the 1949 Mercury Eight, which
became very popular with customizers who created "Lead sleds" from
it. All were brand new bodies.
For just 3 short years, from 1949 to 1951, Lincoln shared it's
basic body style with the Mercury. During that time, Lincoln came
in two distinct models. The standard Lincoln or "Baby Lincoln", and
the Cosmopolitan.
The Cosmopolitan featured a four-speed Hydramatic automatic
transmission supplied by General Motors or a base three-speed
manual and a 337 cubic inch 152 hp V8 as well as an "aerodynamic"
hood ornament.
Like the Continental of the 1960s, the Cosmopolitan featured
suicide doors, which opened from the B-pillar. In 1949, new coil
springs were added to the front. The headlights and tail lights on
the Cosmopolitan reflected a new styling trend appearing on
customized vehicles called "frenching" where various items were
recessed into the bodywork, along with a new styling appearance
called "ponton".
In 1951, power window and seats were standard.
