Are there other guys on this board with custom 49 - 51 Lincoln's? I'd love to see your ride... Right, I know, but I thought I would ask anyway. By the way... Not to be Spamy, but I'm looking for a Cosmopolitan windshield (it's one piece) and the stainless windshield trim for this thing. Not your typical junkyard or Ebay items, so any help is great!
Jive.....summer of '84, I traded my 57 Ranchero rustbucket for a Black '50 Lido coupe [also called the baby lincoln] with a stuck motor. At the time I already had 3 other projects and the Lincoln had to be parked on the gr***, killing it graveyard dead. The missus and I went around and around about my "habit" and I ended up selling all the projects, including the Lincoln to a guy from Iowa.. I got a friend building a 49 cosmo sedan right now...

There are a few of those owners who used to show on HAMB. LincCosmo was one. What about that strange dude in CA who was chopping one in a chicken coop? Forget his name.
If there's any Lincoln guys checking this out, where can I get a good set of these lenses? 51 Lincoln/canadian Monarch. Or anyone here want to cast some new ones??
hey man, were finishing up a 51 right now, i think the owner has a spare set of 49 window trim, i done a hellof a lot of metal work on this boat. its gonna be a sweet ride. ill see him on monday if you want me to ask.
mr57- If all else fails, You COULD make your own lenses...? Might be cheaper that way too. If you need/want to know how I'd do it, just PM me...
heres a bad shot of my pals jesse and frank standing by jesse's 51,its down right now with rear axle issues.
Holy ****, are those CLOUDS I see in the skies over Lancaster??? I hadn't given too much thought to using DP90 on my 50 Merc, but I have to admit that on this 51 it looks damn fine....
Nice car man...great body style...I don't know if this will help, but check out Lincoln Land in Clearwater, Florida...they mainly specialize in the 60s models like I have, but they may also be able to refer you to places that have the 49-51 parts. They have a web site and you can email them. www.lincolnlandinc.com Take care. Mike
