Inspection of a Lincoln Limo in Ft. Worth Texas

[supercargirl]

I would like to have a 1950 Lincoln Cosmopolitan Limo inspected in Fort Worth Texas for a client.  Any ideas or takers?

 

Thanks,

Yes sir.  I actually found a guy to do the inspection.

Might be one of the ten...

Are you guys kidding me?  I've been advertising it on the site for months :)!

Look here or here.

Padgett, your references were very informative.

The Harry Truman Library and Museum, part of

the National Archives, says that a fleet of ten were

made for the White House.  The link to the Hemmings

articles says that nine were made for President Truman,

and that only a handful survive.  (How many are in a handful?)

 

I think the lines of this Lincoln are better than those

of the production cars.  Stretched out, it doesn't look

roly-poly like the regular versions!

Either way, it's still a beautiful car.

The first says that ten were ordered. The second says nine were delivered. Government work.

If govt work they are still building with cost overruns!

five or less.

[padgett]

Less than a bushel and a peck but can be more than five if small.

I don't know, Let me count. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,  yup, only five.

I guess a handful of M and Ms would be more, but not for long.
