The Lincoln range featuring 'rounded' styling were Lincoln's first truly post-WWII cars. The aerodynamic hood ornament and recessed 'French-stylised' headlights were unique design features that later became popular with hotrodders and known as 'Frenching'. Lincoln dropped its ageing V12 engine in 1949, replacing it with a 337ci flathead V8 that originated from Ford truck powerplants. The 150hp unit delivers power through an optional Hydra-Matic 4-speed automatic or 3-speed manual transmission, while power windows and seats were standard. Offered in sedan, coupe and roadster body styles, the first generation was only produced from 1949 until 1951 before being replaced by the second and final generation.
Chassis number 50LP7331L was built at the Lincoln Plant as a '6 Passenger Coupe', Body Style L-72', often referred to as the Lincoln 'Club Coupe'. It was manufactured in 1950 and is understood to have resided in America until 2016 when it was imported to the UK. Having just two UK keepers since importation, this 'Club Coupe' is fitted with the 337ci flathead V8 engine is mated to the four-speed automatic transmission offered by Lincoln. Showing off the attractive Lincoln lines, the Black bodywork is combined with Grey cloth upholstery. This rare two-door coupe variant, is understood to have been built for the 1950 model year and is offered with import documentation, original sales literature for a 1949 model and the V5C document.
