Lincoln was first produced by Henry Leland in 1920. Two years later the Lincoln Motor Company was purchased by Henry and Edsel Ford, becoming the Ford Motor Company's luxury marquee. In 1945 Lincoln-Mercury was established as a division of the Ford Motor Company. According to the automaker, since 1920 Lincoln has produced nearly 7 million vehicles, with famous owners as diverse as Clark Gable, John F. Kennedy and Neil Young.

Lincoln History:
Lincoln Zephyr Convertible Coupe (1939) is the auto that saved Lincoln. The depression had crippled the U.S. luxury car market, relegating Lincoln to a money-losing minor division of Ford, producing barely 40 cars per week. Cadillac and Packard were the first to react, both coming out with less-expensive models in the LaSalle and the Packard One Twenty. Briggs Manufacturing Company, who provided Ford with the Lincoln bodies was as concerned as Ford. They assigned John Tjaarda to produce a dream car in 1933 that could be used as the basis for a lower end Lincoln automobile. This car, with some modifications (Henry Ford nixed the rear engine), became the Zephyr, named after the first streamlined train, the Burlington Silver Streak Zephyr.
Lincoln Zephyr was an immediate hit producing about 20,000 cars per year in the late 1930’s. The public, which at the same time was rejecting the streamlined Chrysler Airflow, loved the Zephyr’s look from the hidden running board to the distinctive “waterfall” split grille. But as with most Ford cars over the years, the real magic was under the hood and in the price tag. The Zephyr was priced between $1500 and $2000 (the 1939 Convertible Coupe cost $1747) and was by far the least expensive V-12 on the market. Fully wired 267.3 Cubic Inch V-12 engine provided 110 horsepower. Lincoln Zephyr gave birth to the Lincoln Continental. Edsel Ford, then president of the Lincoln division, was so enamored with the ’39 Zephyr Convertible Coupe, that he had 2 of them made especially for his sons. Lincoln Zephyr was the model that provided the basis for the first Lincoln Continentals a few years later. Lincoln auto parts are available by clicking Lincoln auto part.
