Lincoln has been renowned as a luxury brand for over a century now, but you may be surprised to learn that some production has shifted overseas.
Father and son duo Henry and Wilfred Leland founded the Lincoln Motor Company back in 1917. The company, named after President Abraham Lincoln, started out producing aircraft engines during the First World War before shifting focus to luxury cars. After a few short years in business, Ford would purchase the Lincoln Motor Company in 1922 for $8 million. Now, a century later, the Lincoln Motor Company is still owned by the Blue Oval brand, and while it continues to focus on luxury automobiles, the company has historically produced a wide range of models.
Lincoln recently stopped producing pickup trucks and sedans, and now primarily produces SUVs and crossovers.
