An Unmatched Tradition of Automotive Excellence
CELEBRATING THE CENTENNIAL OF LINCOLN’S LUXURY AUTOMOBILES
Long the Arbiter of Elegance in America, Lincoln Marks its Centennial as a Successful Automaker This Year.
Begun in 1917, Lincoln Motor Company initially built the Liberty engines that powered the aircraft of World War I. After the war, a transition to automaking led to financial downturn, but Ford Motor Company came to its rescue in 1922, purchasing the company and quickly righting it. Under the guidance of Edsel Ford, Lincoln soon established a reputation for luxury, offering custom bodies on Models L and then K. The Lincoln Zephyr and Continental followed . . . and the luxury offerings continue to this day.
