Add to SetSummary
Inspired by a 1938 trip to Europe, Edsel Ford collaborated with designer E.T. "Bob" Gregorie on a custom car based on the Lincoln Zephyr but with a sophisticated "continental" look. Reaction from Mr. Ford's friends was so positive that Lincoln put the car into regular production. The beautiful 1940-1948 Lincoln Continentals that followed represent one of Edsel Ford's most significant achievements.
