​History of Lincoln Motor Company
Founded in 1917 by Henry M. Leland and his son Wilfred, the Lincoln Motor Company was named in honour of Abraham Lincoln, the first president for whom Henry Leland voted.
Initially, the company produced Liberty aircraft engines during World War I. Post-war, Lincoln transitioned to manufacturing luxury automobiles. Facing financial difficulties, Lincoln was acquired by the Ford Motor Company in 1922, becoming its luxury vehicle division. 

Over the decades, Lincoln has been synonymous with American luxury, producing iconic models like the Continental and Town Car.
The brand has also been a preferred choice for U.S. presidential limousines.
