"Pictorial History of the Lincoln Car," 1955

01

Artifact Overview

Thirty-three years of Lincoln styling are represented in this poster, from the company's early designs under Henry Leland and Wilfred Leland, to the marque's renaissance under Edsel Ford, to its refreshed post-World War II models. Many changes are shown, but none is quite so dramatic as that between the staid Model K of 1935 and the streamlined Zephyr of 1936.
