Artifact Overview

Challenged by a difficult economy and disappointing sales, Lincoln Motor Company entered receivership in November 1921. Ford Motor Company purchased Lincoln for $8 million in February 1922. These articles of association reflected the new ownership. They were signed by Lincoln founders Henry Leland and Wilfred Leland, and by Edsel Ford -- who also signed on behalf of his father, Henry Ford.
