Say Hello Again to Lincoln at 100 years.

    A century ago, Edsel Ford chose to build cars not for everyone, but for the selct few who sought the world’s finest automobiles. And so Lincoln was born. The decades that followed saw Lincoln become the first choice of presidents, the muse of fashion designers and a work of art at a world class museum. 100 years on, we continue to reimagine what a driving machine can be.
    Establish 1922. 100 years.
