2013 Lincoln MKZ

The Lincoln brand has been in the doldrums for years now, but Ford's luxury arm is looking to stage a comeback (again) starting with the all-new Lincoln MKZ. The brand's mid-size offering will be arriving in dealerships later this year, and we're getting our first glimpse of what's to come with this, the MKZ Concept that makes its debut at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show. The MKZ Concept features an all-new clean sheet design that head designer Max Wolff calls "simplicity with just a few strokes." The MKZ continues to feature the latest version of Lincoln's split wing front fascia, with a pair of tidy, multi-unit LED lights that flow out out of the grille. The body side design features a sharp crease at the beltline that helps the concept look wider and more athletic, and looking at the MKZ concept in profile reveals a sweeping roofline that looks unique and refined. We're big fans of the svelte side mirrors, which are about as thick as a strip steak and completely independent from the A-pillar. The concept also features a stunning, full glass roof that integrates into the body structure. Lincoln MKZ ConceptThe mirrors and the lightly tinted glass roof won't necessarily make their way to production (along with those oversized wheels), but the proportions of this MKZ is likely a spot-on match for the production model. Lincoln tells us that the concept features a 112-inch wheelbase – five inches shorter than the 2012 model. The concept is also wider than the 2012 model by more than an inch. The extra length should allow for a lot more interior volume, but many concept models show off a cabin that is more Buck Rodgers than production-ready. That's not the case with the MKZ concept, as Lincoln chose to show off duds that are likely very close to the model we'll soon find in dealerships. Among the interesting touches are a dash that features rich materials and beautiful wood accents, a new steering wheel design that features perforated leather and a new take on MyLincoln Touch. The center IP ditches the analog gauges in favor of a ten-inch thin film transistor LED instrument panel with sharp-looking graphics. The center stack shows of an eight-inch LCD screen with the now familiar MyLincoln Touch graphics, plus a touch-sensitive and knob-free set of HVAC controls. The most interesting part about the center console is the absence of a shift lever. Transmission controls are instead aligned vertically along the left edge of the stack, clearing up oodles of space for front row occupants. The center console also houses the push-button start and glove box release buttons. Ford hasn't given much information about the mechanicals under the hood of the concept vehicle, but the MKZ will feature the same Lincoln Drive Control and Continuously Controlled Damping adjustable suspension as the 2013 MKT and MKS.

1950 Lincoln Cosmopolitan

Sold for $22,000 at 2009 RM Auctions. The Lincoln Cosmopolitan had recessed head and tail lights, and limited, yet effect amount of chrome trim. There was a one-piece windshield, sweeping lines, and rested on a longer, 125-inch wheelbase. The interior featured a newly re-modeled dash with the speedometer placed directly in front of the driver. Under the bonnet was a power 337 cubic-inch V8 engine with horsepower in the neighborhood of 152 bhp. The Cosmopolitan could achieve speeds greater than 100 miles per hour. In the first Mexican Road Race, commonly known as the Carrera Panamericana, the Cosmopolitan proved its capabilities as a high-quality, fast automobile by finishing ninth overall in the capable hands of long-distance driver Johnny Mantz. This Cosmopolitan has been driven a mere 19,000 miles since new. It is painted in black, has black painted steel wheels with full chrome-plated hubcaps, trim rings, and period correct whitewall tires. The interior is beige upholstery and carpeting and remains period correct throughout. There are power windows, a pushbutton-operated AM radio, heater, and Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. In 2009, this Sport Sedan was offered for sale at the Automobiles of Amelia Island auction presented by RM Auctions. The car was estimated to sell for $30,000 - $40,000 and offered without reserve. The lot was sold for $22,000, including buyer's premium. By Daniel Vaughan Source: Internet

1953 Lincoln Cosmopolitan

The Lincoln Cosmopolitan was introduced in the late 1940s and remained in production until the early 1950's. For 1949, the entire Lincoln model line was all new; no longer were there pontoon fenders. In their place were a flowing envelope styling that gracefully drifted down to the rear bumper. The Lincoln models were similar to the Mercury, mostly distinguished by their grille and larger engine. In 1950, Johnny Mantz finished in 9th place in the Mexican Road Race. They were popular with racers due to their small size and powerful engines. Even the White House ordered 19 examples for presidential, governmental, and VIP use. The 1951 Lincoln Cosmopolitan was easily identifiable by its front end, which featured sunken in head lights. In the back were slight fins and fender blades. By Daniel Vaughan Source: Internet
