Lincoln Cosmopolitan (1948 to 1954)

The Lincoln Cosmopolitan is a full-size luxury car that was sold by Lincoln from the 1949 through the 1954 model year over two distinct generations. The first from 1949 to 1951 and the second from 1952 to 1954.  Although initially sharing many body panels with the Mercury Eight and the standard Lincoln, the model was distinguished by its own rear roofline. The 1949 Lincoln Cosmopolitan was marketed as the flagship of the Lincoln line. For the second generation, the Lincoln Cosmopolitan took the place of the standard Lincoln, with the Lincoln Capri becoming the new Lincoln flagship line.
