Artifact Overview

Edsel Ford and Bob Gregorie created the original Lincoln Continental prototype in 1939, and Lincoln built a production version from 1940-1948. This drawing shows a proposed insignia for a next-generation Continental model. The Continental Mark II arrived -- under its own brand, separate from Lincoln -- for 1956.
