    Hello,

    I found this tonight- it's stamped Feb 1951 on the back. Based on some pics linked back to this forum, I believe it to be a 1951 Lincoln Cosmopolitan Dash. Am I correct?

    Thanks. Were they used in different years or just '51 specific?

    I had two diffferent '50 baby Lincolns that both used that cluster. Like Wizkid says, 50-51 both bodies.

    Thank you for the replies. I searched around found they often get swapped into Mercs? I ask because we have a lot of stuff to go through and narrowing down all the unidentified parts will be helpful.

    You can put this in a Merc if you have the baby Lincoln dash shell, (basically swapping the entire dash) but it won't fit into the Merc dash shell.

    Do you have Tail Lights for a 51 baby Lincoln and or brackets to hold them in.

    I can't say. There's basically the equivalent of three small semi-truck trailers we have to go through and inventory. On top of that, some of the stuff is like the above- we don't know what it is, nor the value.

    Do you still have this instrument panel? And is it for sale, mine has some minor damage, but it may be easier to replace!
