Overview of 1951 Lincoln Cosmopolitan Coupe

Item Details

1951 Lincoln Cosmopolitan Coupe - VIN: 51LP9276H - Offered Without Reserve - LCOC Best in Show winner in 2005 | Just 4,000 miles since comprehensive restoration by Magnum Automotive | Highly optioned with leather interior and hidden modern audio system | Complete with car cover, maintenance records, spare parts, and touch-up paint - 337 cid flathead V-8 engine, 154 HP, four-speed Hydra-Matic transmission, coil spring front suspension, rear semi-elliptic leaf springs, four-wheel power drum brakes; wheelbase: 125�
The entire Ford family of vehicles, including both Mercury and Lincoln, received all-new styling for 1949. The in-house studio of E.T. 'Bob' Gregorie and an outside consultant named George Walker provided proposals for the new design. Walker's design was chosen for the low-priced Ford cars and the Gregorie proposal became the flagship Lincoln Cosmopolitan. The 1949 Lincolns shed the pontoon fenders and replaced them with flowing envelope styling that sloped slowly down to the back bumper. Styling changes were made to the grille in 1951, which now had a center horizontal section and five vertical louvres giving it a slightly more sophisticated appearance. The sunken headlamps remained unchanged. On the inside, the dash was minimized with the speedometer moved directly in front of the driver. The Cosmopolitan Series continued as the top-of-the-line Lincoln for 1951, distinguished from its siblings by the chrome rocker panels, fender skirts, and the Cosmopolitan name located on the upper front fenders. Power was from the classic L-head V-8 with a cast-iron block, a Holley two-barrel carburetor, and a 336.7 cubic-inch displacement with 154 horsepower at 3,600 RPM. The standard Lincolns in 1951 had a 121-inch wheelbase, while the Cosmopolitan rested on a 125-inch platform and measured 222.5 inches as the flagship of the entire Lincoln lineup. This rare Coupe is truly a transitional model, with updated styling yet the venerable Lincoln flathead V-8 under the hood. It is simply the finest Cosmopolitan we’ve ever seen, with the long list of options and Concours awards proving its accuracy and provenance. This stunning example has been brilliantly restored and is highly original except for seat belts, which were not yet an option, a modern electric fuel pump, and a modern Fujitsu Eclipse audio system with remote control, hidden discreetly behind the speaker grille. In addition, the original block was replaced with a correct commercial Lincoln block, ironically sourced from a Muntz Jet found in Ontario, Canada. Without a suitable option for this big car, Lincoln outsourced one of the best, and a GM Hydra-Matic transmission was installed by the factory and is well-documented as the original transmission. The four-speed automatic option made the Cosmopolitan Sport Coupe one of the most expensive and desirable Lincolns of the era. It was equipped at the factory with an incredible full leather interior, hydraulic power windows with electric actuation, electric power seats, vacuum power antenna, accessory spotlight, rear speaker, and backup lights. The original jack and tire tools are supplied with the car. The deep navy-blue paint is outstanding, and there is absolutely nothing for the lucky new owner to do but turn the key and enjoy this rare vehicle. This lovely Cosmopolitan is one of the finest we’ve seen, and by 1952, all Lincolns would ride on a shorter 123-inch wheelbase chassis, making this 1951 model one of the last big Lincolns of the era. An original California car, it has always been used in the west and survived with a solid body. Meticulously restored in 1998, its fine and accurate condition was verified by winning the Ellston Bell Founders Trophy for Best in Show at the Lincoln and Continental Owner’s Club National Meet in 2005, along with numerous other concours awards. A Cosmopolitan Coupe in this condition will likely never be duplicated, making this immaculate find highly desirable for the discerning collector.
