Lincoln Motor Company

Lincoln Automobile Emblem, circa 1922
Lincoln Automobile Emblem, circa 1922 / THF150927


Lincoln Motor Company was formed in 1917 by father and son Henry Leland and Wilfred Leland. The elder Leland named it for the first president for whom he voted. Lincoln built airplane engines during World War I, then shifted to production of luxury automobiles. Faced with a difficult economy and disappointing sales, the company entered receivership.

Lincoln found salvation in another father-son duo, Henry Ford and Edsel Ford. Ford Motor Company purchased Lincoln Motor Company in 1922. The $8 million deal spared Lincoln from closure, and Lincoln’s luxury cars expanded Ford’s product line beyond the economical Model T. Edsel Ford guided Lincoln with a simple but highly personal vision:

“Father made the most popular car in the world. I would like to make the best car in the world.”

Lincoln grew into one of America’s most admired luxury automakers, and it remains so today. The Henry Ford’s collections include important Lincoln automobiles, archival materials, photographs, publications, and videos. Below are links to some of our most significant resources related to the history of Lincoln Motor Company.

Summary

The Vagabonds -- Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, and Harvey Firestone -- enjoyed their annual camping trips taken from 1916 to 1924. While the three men delighted in the outdoors, their accommodations weren't particularly rustic. This vehicle, built on a 1922 Lincoln chassis, traveled with them. It carried food and cooking utensils for elaborate meals that might include steak, chicken, or freshly baked pie.

Summary

Henry Leland formed Lincoln Motor Company in 1917 to build military aircraft engines. After World War I, Lincoln built luxury automobiles. While Leland's cars were well engineered and manufactured, they weren't particularly stylish for a premium brand. Financial problems forced Leland to sell to Henry Ford in 1922. This Lincoln was given to Ford's friend and mentor, Thomas Edison.

Summary

When Ford Motor Company bought Lincoln Motor Company in 1922, the luxury automaker's cars were well engineered but not particularly attractive. Lincoln styling flourished under Edsel Ford's leadership. He worked with some of the industry's best coachbuilders to produce appealing designs that improved Lincoln's sales and stature. This 1929 Model L convertible, with a body by Dietrich, is a fine example.

Summary

Automobiles, like other everyday objects, underwent streamlining in the 1930s. The 1936 Lincoln Zephyr joined aerodynamic styling with attractiveness. Its flowing teardrop shape suggests motion. Its V-shaped grille slices the air. Headlights blend smoothly into the front fenders. Rear fenders hug the body and fender skirts hide the rear wheels. Even the taillights are streamlined. The Zephyr was a streamlining success.

Summary

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.

Summary

Ford Motor Company celebrated its 50th anniversary with the X-100, a fully functional concept car billed as a "laboratory on wheels." The X-100 featured more than 50 innovative ideas. Some of them, like the heated seats and the telephone, eventually became commonplace. Others, like the variable-volume horn and the in-car electric shaver, never quite caught on with the public.

Summary

The Mark II was elegantly understated. Its appeal depended not on chrome, but rather flawless quality control, extensive road testing, shocks that adjusted to speed, and power steering, brakes, windows, and seats. At $10,000 it was the most expensive American car you could buy. This particular Mark II was owned by the president of Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, Harvey S. Firestone, Jr.

Summary

Ford Motor Company and coachbuilder Lehmann-Peterson stretched and modified this 1964 Lincoln Continental for Pope Paul VI to use on his 1965 visit to New York City. The removable roof panel allowed the pontiff to stand and wave to crowds, while step plates and handrails accommodated security personnel. Later, the limousine served as an official parade car in Chicago.

Summary

This 1996 concept car exhibits some of the "retro" design ideas popular in the late 1990s. The Lincoln Continental of 1961 inspired its clean, sharp-edged, chrome-outlined profile. The center-opening doors come from the same car. The front end is a re-interpretation of elements from the 1940 Lincoln Continental, while the exhausts exiting from the rear bumpers recall the 1956 Continental Mark II.

Summary

This was the first car built expressly for presidential use. It was nicknamed the "Sunshine Special" because President Franklin Roosevelt loved to ride in it with the top down. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 the car was returned to the factory where it was equipped with armor plate and bullet-resistant tires and gas tank. The "Sunshine Special" was retired in 1950.

Summary

This massive convertible Lincoln was built for President Harry S Truman in 1950, but it is most associated with Truman's successor Dwight D. Eisenhower, who used the car from 1952 until 1960. Eisenhower added the distinctive plastic "bubble top." Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson also used this car as a spare until its retirement in 1967.

Summary

President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in this car on November 22, 1963. The midnight blue, un-armored convertible was rebuilt with a permanent roof, titanium armor plating, and more somber black paint. The limousine returned to the White House and remained in service until 1977. The modified car shows the fundamental ways in which presidential security changed after Kennedy's death.

President Ronald Reagan was getting into this car when he was shot by John Hinckley on March 30, 1981. The car carried Reagan to the hospital. Presidents Nixon, Ford, Carter, and George H.W. Bush also used this car. In 1982 the front sheet metal was updated, but since a 1982 grille no longer fit properly on the 1972 body, a 1979 grille was used.
