Introduced on April 22, 1948, the 1949 Lincoln line was the carmaker’s first new postwar product. Like its Ford and Mercury siblings, Lincoln received a complete redesign for ’49, and the luxury brand was treated to coil-spring independent front suspension, a big new 336.7 CID L-head V8, and the GM Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. Body designs were all new as well, including one body style that would last just a single year, the Town Sedan with its dramatic fastback roofline. I've never seen one of these, anybody ?
