Lincoln Parts

 

For more than eighty years now, Lincoln has maintained a sound reputation of making top quality products. Originally, the company, founded by Henry M. Leland built aircraft engines. After the war, the company ventured into making high-class luxury vehicles. The transition from manufacturing Liberty aircraft engines to building top quality autos brought financial difficulties to the company. Consequently, Ford took ownership of the company in 1922 and since then marketed the Lincoln vehicles under the Lincoln-Mercury division of Ford. In 1998, Lincoln was considered as best-selling luxury vehicle in the United States and today it continues to be one of the best luxury autos in the country.

As luxury vehicle mark, Lincoln vehicles never pass without leaving an impression of fine driving. It takes pride of high class parts that ensure your superior driving satisfaction all the time. Most of Lincoln’s platforms were based on Ford vehicles. The two vehicle makes also share some major auto parts and components. Lincoln vehicles such as the Lincoln Aviator, Lincoln Blackwood and Mark LT, and Lincoln Navigator had Ford counterparts namely the Ford Explorer, Ford F-150 pickup truck and Ford Expedition. Like Ford, Lincoln continues to endure the auto industry’s high competition by maintaining its high quality standards on all Lincoln parts and autos. But even when the two have common parts, Lincoln still maintains a distinct character that made it last for many years in the industry.

 

The Continental is Lincoln’s most significant model. Since 1939, Lincoln has been using the Continental name for various luxury vehicles. It started as Edsel Ford’s exclusive car, which he intended to use for his spring vacation. It was a luxury convertible with a long hood covering, long front fenders and short trunk. It also had a covered spare tire, which would be the Continental’s distinguishing mark. Fortunately, it got positive remarks from his friends so he immediately asked for its mass production. The first models were convertibles and sedans. They were hand built to ensure their superior quality and excellent design. Its production was however stopped during the war. After the war, production resumed but it had similar trims with other Lincoln cars. Soon, the Continental became a separate auto brand of Ford, but still it was intended for high class market.
