Switchtrader.com Lincoln snapshot.

The company was established in 1917 by Henry Leland, an automotive parts manufacturer who had previously founded the Cadillac brand. He named the company after his boyhood hero: the 16th U.S. president, Abraham Lincoln. Early Lincoln models include the L Series and the K Series. The company quickly hit dire straits, however, and was bought by Ford Motor Company in 1922. The '90s saw the debut of the last Mark, the Mark VIII, which featured a four-cam V8 and air suspension. By this time, sport-utility vehicles had emerged as segment to be reckoned, and Lincoln made the most of this trend by launching its very first SUV, the Navigator, for 1998. Dripping with leather-swathed affluence, the luxury SUV was a breakout hit. More recently, Lincoln has expanded its lineup with a pickup truck and entry-level models in hopes of attracting a new generation of consumers. Many of its offerings fall short of the competition in areas such as athleticism and refinement. Still, the marque is a favorite of car buyers seeking a generous dose of all-American luxury.

The current lineup reads as follows:Lincoln MKX, Lincoln MKZ, Lincoln Mark LT, Lincoln Navigator, Lincoln Navigator L, Lincoln Town Car.
