Description:
This 1949 Lincoln is a project car. The Cosmopolitan Town Sedan is one-of-a-kind, as 1949 was the.only year that Lincoln (or Ford for that matter) built a car with the fast back look. Only 7,302 were made, so this is a rare find.
The following projects are what I have completed on this car:
Completely rebuilt 337 ci V-8 flathead engine, including balanced crankshaft, new pistons, new rings, and new valves. $2000
Overdrive as part of the drive train was examined and declared ready
New engine mounts installed.
Brand new wiring harnesses for entire car from Rhode Island Wiring, with detailed instructions for connections. $2800
Obtained new (NOS) and re-chromed bright work for hood and rear deck, as well as bumpers, inside door handles, window cranks, and exterior door handles. $3000
Restored, cleaned, and sealed original radiator and gasoline tank (21 gallons) $400
New exhaust system and muffler. $400
New brake lines installed. $150
Replaced generator with alternator while maintaining the same generator look.(Purchased from Genernator for $900)
New front disc brakes from Jamco $450
Restored hydraulic system installed for electro-mechanical windows and front seat, including all new lines and hydraulic cylinders for doors and floor.
Replaced front floor pan on both driver's and passenger's side.
Complete set of Chassis, Parts, and Service Manuals, along with original brochures for exterior paint color. $200
I had bought this car 5 years ago, but had back surgery 4 years ago, making it much more difficult to complete. My intent was to restore this car to a drivable car for showing at local car shows. I retained the 6-volt electrical so as to show what the original car would look like coming off the showroom floor in 1949. I have most of the parts as well as vendors names for other parts.
