Lincoln
has had a long history of building and releasing upscale vehicles to
the market, but little know of its history. The Lincoln car company
was founded in 1917 by Henry M. Leland who had previously founded
Cadillac. In 1922, Lincoln was bought by the Ford Motor Company.
Lincoln
had already released their L series previously, and the K series came
out after they were bought. By the 1930s, Lincoln had found its place
in the luxury-car segment, even going toe-to-toe with Cadillac. Their
first popular car was the Zephyr which was released in 1936 and was a
big hit among consumers, to the point that there came a time when
majority of what Lincoln sold were Zephyrs.
