Other Lincolns on display were William Clay Ford’s 1956 Continental Mark II convertible, several classic Lincolns from the twenties and thirties, and a 1956 Continental Mark II originally owned by Elizabeth Taylor.

My beloved 1949 Lincoln Cosmopolitan convertible has been in my possession for one year now. The story starts, that is, three years prior in 2018. I was a freshman student attending McPherson College for their automotive restoration program. I was 19 at the time and chasing a Welcome to the dream in the field I love, automotive restoration. I felt as if automobiles were more than just a vehicle. Classic cars are history, an essential part of not only American culture but others as well. Northstar News, the My friends and I decided to take a fall trip to the great state of Texas. My grandmother lives in monthly publication of Texas, so I am never opposed to visiting. We arrived and had our fun; then, it was time to visit the Northstar Region grandma. She had mentioned a friend of hers with a classic car collection.
