Here is a 1950 Lincoln, although in this case, it's a limousine from Yat Ming's Presidential Series of U.S. executive automobiles. It is really nicely done, as are all the cars in that series. My Grandpa had a 1949 Lincoln, although it was a Cosmopolitan and not quite this luxurious ! I still remember the spring-loaded trunk lock on his car as a very small child.

great pics, thanks Mike. I wish Yat Ming had have made stock versions of their Presidential cars.

Thanks ! Yes, I would love standard versions of these cars from Yat Ming.
VERY cool shots Mike! I've long loved your innovative work!
Thank you, Tony !
Nice pictures and writeup Mike.
Thanks, Bob. These cars, in regular form, would also make great 1/24 (or any scale) diecast/resin/white metal models !

YES! An absolute favorite of mine that I had to own (along with the other 8 limos in YM's US Presidential series). And also, "Yes," it's a great start to any one of the other Presidential "water-buffalo Lincolns" used by the Secret Service in the early 1950's.

Yes, it's a really nice big 1949-50 Lincoln, which would be great in any form or scale. I would love to have a diecast model of the 1949 Lincoln Cosmopolitan that my Grandpa and Grandma owned.

Yes, it was a really nice car and pretty cool, but I was so young I just remember a little bit about it, That's it at Purdue University with my uncle standing behind it.
