AI Listing Summary
This 1949 Lincoln Cosmopolitan Custom Coupe is a unique two-door street rod conversion featuring a 455ci Buick V8 engine and a Viper Red exterior. It has been meticulously rebuilt with custom body modifications and a modern interior, showing only 2,200 miles since its completion in 2004.
Condition
8
The car has been extensively customized and rebuilt over 20 years ago, with only 2,200 miles driven since completion in 2004. While the build quality appears high, and mechanical components have been recently replaced, the age of the build and the custom nature mean it is not pristine or outstanding. It's in excellent condition for a heavily modified classic.

This 1949 Lincoln Cosmopolitan started life as a sedan, and following the current owner’s purchase more than two decades ago, it was built into a two-door street rod by John Winkler of Knox, Pennsylvania.
Custom details include rectangular headlights, wraparound taillights, frameless doors, and a bespoke grille, bumpers, and fender skirts.
Power comes from a 455ci Buick V8 linked to a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission, and the car rides on an independent front suspension with front disc brakes.
The custom interior features beige cloth upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, air conditioning, power windows, a Jensen cassette head unit, and VDO gauges.
