Lincoln is a luxury car brand under the renowned American automobile company Ford, founded in 1917 by Henry Leland. The brand is named after U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, and its logo features a shining star within a rectangle, symbolizing President Lincoln as the guiding star of the United States' federal unity and the abolition of slavery. Since 1939, when U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt was in office, Lincoln cars have been selected by the White House as presidential vehicles. The most 'famous' model is the parade car used by President Kennedy. Notable Lincoln models include: MKC, MKZ, 'Continental', 'Mark VIII', 'Town Car', and 'Navigator'. In China, the most commonly used Lincoln models are from the 'Town Car' series.
