BIG OL' FLATHEAD, WILL IT RUN? · 1950 Lincoln EL

I bought a 1950 Lincoln EL, it was still on the trailer from when the previous owner bought it and hauled it home. We had to unload it off his trailer and get it loaded on ours before we could head home and see if it would run!!
It is currently for sale with title in my name if anyone is interested... runs, drives and stops!!

Amazing. I admire these backyard mechanics and their patience. These '48-'51 Linc's are obscure as collector cars, they deserve more love

[@chaddilacdesigns]

It was a big ol' beast!! LOL!

You know what I REALLY like in this video? The HONEST 'I'm one guy with a camera' video perspective. Nothing fancy, no 'hidden camera operator' - all 'riginal - like the car...really nice tail lights and faired-in headlights...I've never seen one of these live...thank you for the video.

[@chaddilacdesigns]

Thanks for watching!!

[@gearhead9943]

That cold start view from inside was the best thing ever. PLEASE make more of those. In everything you have!

[@chaddilacdesigns]

Thanks man!!! I'm on it!!

[@gearhead9943]

@@chaddilacdesigns can’t wait!!

[@gearhead9943]

It was so cool being able to see the full view of what you’re doing with the ignition, and gas pedal. It’s the involvement new cars don’t have during cold starts that’s so boring. Push a key and go! Lol Thank you!

[@chaddilacdesigns]

LOL.... Yea they are a different animal!

[@terryeustice5399]

Did not have to do a thing to get it running. It’s great to see the ole gal running yes, the lifters are knocking a bit. Thank you for sharing!

[@chaddilacdesigns]

I had no idea it was gonna be that easy! Yea the lifters quietened up after running down the road a little bit. Thanks for watching!!

[@ryand.8176]

LOL... I'm just hustling brother! Thank you very much for watching!!

[@stevenfromer3816]

Awesome

[@armitage1950]

I’ve had a 50’ L74 Sport Sedan just like that. Had 5 of these baby Lincolns now, soon to be 6 I hope. No idea why I like such a weird car, & the 337’s are a PAIN to find parts for, but hey, I dig rare & weird! Also- I heard you call it a Cosmopolitan. It’s not- Cosmos ran an entirely different body than the baby Lincolns.

[@chaddilacdesigns]

They are oddly satisfying! LOL!!

[@shaggy2scooby4you]

sweet old Lincoln needs a little more 💘

[@chaddilacdesigns]

Would make a cool family cruiser!!

[@califdad4]

Yes my Aunt in 1950 bought a new 50 Lincoln Cosmopolitan, those were a bit bigger and had a one piece windshdshield, these EL's was a Mercury from the windshield back. I think the El series looked best as a coupe, and in 51 they had a lido coupe with basically a vinyl top on it to make it appear to be a hardtop

[@chaddilacdesigns]

Nice I think I like the 49 best.

[@califdad4]

@@chaddilacdesigns I like the updated dash on the 50&51

[@NormanBaldwin-ms4vv]

Im curious that car looks like one I had in the 90,s is there a weld seam across the front 18 inches of the hood

[@chaddilacdesigns]

I don't remember if it did or didn't. The guy I got it from bought it out of Kansas.

[@kirbyhumphrey3653]

Those old 6 volt systems were so slow. We had a 1949 Ford 8n had to pop the clutch to get her going in cold weather, like our 1950 f1 50+ years ago.

[@chaddilacdesigns]

LOL!! That's funny! Thanks for watching!

[@iowahooch]
