Steve Wertheimer’s Hot Rod 1949 Lincoln Cosmopolitan

Posted on Oct 4, 2015Written by Ken Altes

I cannot tell from my pics of this Cosmopolitan has the four-speed Hydramatic automatic transmission supplied by General Motors or the three-speed manual. The stock engine was a 337 cu. in. version of the Ford flathead, giving 152 hp, although this car has a lot of performance parts and is likely much more powerful.

The Hydramatic transmission was not offered for the 49 Lincoln, so this is a 3 speed manual (you can see the outline of 2 pedals on the floor). Also, the 337 flathead V8 in the Lincolns were a modified version used in the large Ford trucks (F8’s) and was completely different engine than what was used in the Ford passenger cars and light trucks.

  The Hydramatic WAS offered in Lincoln in 1949. For some reason, I was thinking it was offered at the same time Ford came out with the Ford-O-Matic in 1950.

  Mitch that is all correct. The tranny is a 3 speed but it does an overdrive that works and makes highway driving a beeeze
