A Legacy of Luxury and Innovation
Founded in 1917 by Henry Leland, Lincoln quickly established itself as a premier luxury brand. In 1922, Henry Ford acquired the company, integrating it into the Ford Motor Company and setting the stage for a century of innovation. Over the years, Lincoln has introduced several groundbreaking features:
-
Center-Opening Coach Doors: First seen in the 1961 Continental, these doors became a hallmark of Lincoln's design, offering both aesthetic appeal and practical access.
-
Electric Gauges: Lincoln was among the pioneers in adopting electric gauges, enhancing accuracy and reliability in vehicle
instrumentation. -
Keyless Entry: As an early adopter of keyless entry systems, Lincoln provided drivers with unprecedented convenience and security.
-
Symphonic Chimes: Replacing standard warning buzzers, Lincoln introduced melodic chimes, creating a more pleasant driving experience.
These innovations reflect Lincoln's commitment to blending luxury with cutting-edge technology, a tradition that continues to this day.
