The name “Lincoln” came from Henry’s childhood hero, the 16th President of the United States. Off course, it’s not the name that makes this car brand a success but the quality and the beauty you can find in Lincoln cars.

During early times, Lincoln K-Series and Lincoln L-Series were first few Lincoln models introduced to the market. The brand quickly gained popular and Ford Motor Company purchased it in 1922.
