Is the Lincoln Continental Imported or Domestically Produced?
3 Answers
Lincoln Continental is an imported vehicle. All Lincoln models are fully imported with no domestic production currently available. Below are specific details about Lincoln: 1. Lincoln is a luxury vehicle brand under the American Ford Motor Company, founded in 1917 by Henry Leland, with its brand name derived from U.S. President Abraham Lincoln. 2. Since 1939, starting with U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lincoln vehicles have been chosen as presidential limousines by the White House due to their outstanding performance, elegant design, and unparalleled comfort. The most 'famous' model is the parade car used by President Kennedy. Notable Lincoln products include: MKC, MKZ, 'Continental', 'Mark VIII', 'Town Car', and 'Navigator', among which the 'Town Car' series is predominantly used in China.
I used to frequently research the Lincoln Continental, which was manufactured in the United States and thus imported to China. It was reintroduced in 2017 but discontinued by 2020, never being locally produced in China. As an imported vehicle, its design retains the classic American luxury style, featuring high-end interior materials and offering a comfortable, quiet driving experience, providing a more authentic feel compared to domestic brands like some Lincoln SUVs. Maintenance might involve higher costs due to parts needing to be shipped from overseas, but overall, the quality is very reliable. If you're interested, you can still find it in the used car market, though it's important to check the vehicle's condition and import documentation.
I drove a Lincoln Continental for a while and knew at the time that it was manufactured in a U.S. factory and imported. As an imported car, it truly excelled in performance with smooth acceleration and good fuel efficiency, making long-distance driving effortless. It's a bit of a shame that it was discontinued later. Maintenance required waiting for parts to be shipped from abroad, which took some time but was worth it. Compared to some domestically produced Lincoln models like the SUV Adventurer, the Continental holds a higher status in terms of brand positioning. Overall, buying an imported car is about that authentic American style, and the value for money is pretty good too.
