Henry Leland, inspired by Abraham Lincoln, founded the Lincoln automotive brand in 1917 after leaving Cadillac. Initially, the company made Liberty aircraft engines during WWI before focusing on luxury cars. Financial struggles led Leland to sell Lincoln to Ford in 1922, which helped lower production costs and boost its market position alongside Cadillac. The Zephyr model, designed with European influences, led to the iconic Lincoln Continental. Lincoln has supplied vehicles for government use, including presidential limousines, and now targets younger buyers with models like the Navigator and MK series. TouchUpDirect offers color-matched, durable touch up paint for all Lincoln models.
