The Lincoln Cosmopolitan six-passenger convertible is a magnificent car for those who like to keep in step with the seasons. Outstanding in its interior spaciousness, this low-slung model is proof that convertibles need not be cramped and crowded. Pictures can only approximate the distinct elegance of the Cosmopolitan. With sleekness and superlative performance for the era, it delivers unceasingly. The Lincoln was stated to have been engineered and styled to set a new concept for fine car motoring at its best.

With a sticker price of $4,234, the Cosmopolitan Convertible Coupe was the most expensive Lincoln offered in 1951. While 857 examples were built, just 19 are reported to survive. This lovely example is powered by an L-head V-8 engine with 336.7-cid and turns out 152-hp and is coupled to the optional Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. This maroon-toned Lincoln has recessed headlights; is executive sized at 212-inches in overall length and is a very solid platform in design and stature. The Cosmopolitan runs, drives and stops great; and it is reported to be a real pleasure to drive.

Beautifully and comprehensively restored, the Lincoln was completed in 2007 and is still in fantastic condition having attended a June 2013 Lincoln Eastern Regional Show and winning First Prize in class and Best of Show for division, scoring a very impressive 99.67 points from an available 100. Among the features on the Cosmopolitan are power windows, power top, power seat, dual door-mounted mirrors, amber foglights, radio, fender skirts, factory full-wheel covers and wide whitewalls. The tan interior is also presented in an impeccable fashion featuring maroon piping and elegant patterns. The trunk and top boot carry the same tan tones.

With ownership of a car such as this, you’ll discover driving satisfaction that will grow greater with the months and miles travelled.
