Spend more than 30 seconds on the streets of Manhattan and you’re bound to see at least one blacked out Lincoln Town Car jockeyed by a black suit with a lead foot. Coming into contact with these thoroughly bland livery vehicles on a daily basis makes it easy to forget about the heritage behind the Lincoln nameplate. Lincoln was afterall the official limousine for the President dating back to 1939, when the then coveted brand reeked of status, taste and American luxury. We were immediately reminded of this former glory upon spotting this stunning ’51 Sport Sedan casually parked in front of Soho’s Antique Garage. Based on the venue title alone, this baby blue beauty deserves a permanent spot out front. It’s still the peacock in the room – suicide doors, white wall tires and dimensions grand enough to let the neighbors know you have arrived.
Now, this is an automobile.
With real chrome bumpers and a great presence.
From a bygone era and still beautiful. Nice pix.
beautiful pics of a beautiful car!
That’s how to get around on the cobblestones…
Now that’s a dope ride. Takes me back to different era.
There is a car like this in the movie “Niagara” released in 1953 starring Marylin Monroe. Not only are there cool cars featured, the scenery is also amazing. Nothing like real Detriot iron.
