This 1949 Lincoln Cosmopolitan Club Coupe retains its original (or at least correct) 336.7 flathead V8, and though not driven on the street for some time, the car does run and move under its own power. A spare flatty and automatic trans are included, and paint is an older respray of its original color. The seller admits that it will need both cosmetic and mechanical work, but unless the car is a total wreck in person, there’s an awful lot to like here for the price. Find it here on Craigslist in Spokane, Washington for $6,950.

Purchased by the seller from the grandson of the original owner, the ad notes very straight bodywork with one older, factory-correct respray and “virtually no rust.” These cars have a truly grand look when viewed in person–much like a longer, wider, lower, and just slightly more ornate Ford shoebox or early Mercury. The coupes are especially cool, though sedans have rear-hinged back doors.

The interior is kind of rough around the edges, but seems workable. Seats have been covered, and though work looks to have been done recently, materials don’t seem quite right. The tired wheel, missing radio, and absent trim are other areas needing attention, though gauges do appear to remain intact. No engine shots are provided. Says the seller: “The motor starts and the car goes forward and reverse, but I have not driven it on the street.”

The spare motor and trans are definitely a bonus, and if rust is truly limited, this one could be a great find–Hagerty says a number four example should be worth nearly $4k more.
