1949 Lincoln Cosmopolitan

The 1949 Lincoln Cosmopolitan was a beautiful addition to Lincoln’s long history of fine quality luxury automobiles, a tradition that continues today.

While the 1949 Lincoln Cosmopolitan shared the same basic body style with the Mercury, the difference between the Mercury and the Cosmopolitan was the wheelbase. Mercury’s wheel base was 118 inches while the Cosmopolitan wheel base was 126 inches. The additional length made it possible for Lincoln to install a 337 ci engine, the largest displacement Ford flathead engine, compared to Mercurys 255 ci flathead.

The 1949 models included a convertible, a 2 door sedan, like the one feature here, and a 4 door Sport Sedan.
