1 Answers
Lincoln is a luxury brand under the Ford Motor Company. Here are some relevant details: 1. Founded in 1917 by Henry Leland, Lincoln currently offers only five models in the Chinese market: the Lincoln MKZ and Continental in the sedan category, and the Lincoln MKC, MKX, and Navigator in the SUV segment. 2. The Lincoln logo features a shining star within a rectangle, symbolizing President Abraham Lincoln as the guiding star of American federal unity and the abolition of slavery. It was the first car named after a U.S. president and produced specifically for presidential use. Since 1939, starting with President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lincoln vehicles have been consistently chosen as official presidential cars by the White House due to their outstanding performance, elegant design, and unparalleled comfort. The most famous among these is the parade car used by President John F. Kennedy.
