Lincoln is the second brand owned by Ford Motor Company besides "Ford". It was founded by Mr. Henry Leland in 1907 and in 1922. , Ford acquired the Lincoln Motor Company, named after Lincoln, the famous president in American history, and established the Lincoln Department to produce "Lincoln" brand high-end luxury cars. In the early days, it mainly produced aircraft engines. It was the first car named for and produced for a president. Due to its outstanding performance, elegant styling and unparalleled comfort, Lincoln has been selected by the White House as the presidential car since President Franklin Roosevelt of the United States in 1939. One of its most "famous" cars is the review car used by President Kennedy. The famous products of the Lincoln brand include: "Continental", "Mark VIII", "TownCar" and "Navigator", etc.
Currently used in China Most of the Lincoln cars were "city". The Mercury production line was a mid-range car production line established in 1935 at the suggestion of Edsel Ford, son of Henry Ford. In October 1938, the Mercury sedan was officially launched. Equipped with a powerful 95-horsepower V8 engine, it was extremely popular among users and occupied 2.19% of the U.S. sedan market share from 1941 to 1945. Due to the impact of World War II, the Mercury production line was forced to interrupt. Production. In October 1945, Ford Motor Company established the Lincoln-Mercury Division, under the control of Benson Ford (brother of Henry Ford II). The famous products of the Mercury brand include: "Capri" and "American Car." Cougar, Sable, Villager, Mountaineer, Mystique, Grand Marquis, etc.: In 1949, the Lincoln Department and The Mercury Division was merged into one division. The "Lincoln-Continental" brand sedan produced by this division has always been the car of the President of the United States.
In terms of popularity, people all know Cadillacs and Lincolns. It is a famous luxury car, but not many people know Henry Madin Leland - it was he who created the Cadillac and Lincoln models and was known as the "master of precision production" in the American automobile industry in his early years. He worked in a military factory in Massachusetts and learned crafts from his apprentices. He worked in many types of jobs and learned the craftsmanship of precision production. Later, he moved to Detroit with his brother, Robert Falconer, who was studying gun manufacturing. The automobile industry was at its peak, and they opened a machining workshop, which supplied engines and transmissions to the Oldsmobile Automobile Factory until 1900, and thus grew financially.
At this time, Ford became stronger. The company was in trouble, and the banker asked Leland to help, but Henry Ford, who had always been at odds with Leland, didn't buy it and left the company angrily. Leland resolutely took over the company and changed its name to Cadillac. , this is the name of a French missionary soldier who founded Detroit (Detroit is known as the American Motor City).
In 1908, Leland won the British Dewar Award for making parts interchangeable. In 1914, Leland developed the first mass-produced American V8 engine. When World War I broke out, Leland organized Cadillac's best engineers to form a new company to produce aircraft engines. To name this new company, Leland was a supporter of President Lincoln more than 30 years ago. At this time, Leland turned his attention to cars. Leland believed that the V8 engine with an included angle of 60 degrees was better than that produced by Cadillac. An engine with an included angle of 80 degrees runs more smoothly. Facts have proved that Leland was right, and people greatly admired the 60-kilowatt, 113-kilometer-per-hour Lincoln L-type car.
Unexpectedly, the Lincoln L-type car became a victim of the post-war economic recession. Sales plummeted by nearly half. Lincoln was in trouble due to shareholders withdrawing funds and tax legal disputes. , in despair, Leland had no choice but to seek help from Henry Ford. Ford Sr. was initially uninterested in the Lincoln Company, but his son Edsel convinced his father, and in 1922 Ford purchased the Lincoln Company for $8 million.
At first, Leland and his son were retained as president and vice president, but soon Leland and his son had a dispute with Ford, who fired Leland and his son unceremoniously. Leland Sr. was aggrieved and continued to argue with Ford in newspapers and in court throughout his life until his death in 1932.
Although Ford was at odds with Leland in terms of business operations, Lincoln cars upheld the tradition of exquisite production. In the following 70 years, Lincoln continued to innovate and has always been a leader in the luxury car family. The car named after the president has also become a veritable presidential car.

Navigator
Lincoln Navigator is a luxurious large SUV that created the luxury sports car A new concept for multifunctional vehicles. It uses a new 5.4-liter 3-valve V8 engine with a maximum output of 224 kilowatts. It is equipped with the AdvanceTrac electronic stability enhancement system with Roll Stability Control (RSC), which has made significant improvements based on the stability control systems currently on the market. Since ordinary electronic stability control systems can only prevent yaw or skid, the AdvanceTrac system with roll stability control developed by Ford is a major innovation in this field.
The AdvanceTrac system with roll stability control is a comprehensive system composed of four major components, and is by no means an ordinary electronic stability control system. It includes ABS anti-lock braking system, traction control system, steering control system and vehicle lateral sway sensor. Among them, the vehicle lateral swing sensor is Ford's patented technology. It uses a rotation sensor to monitor the vehicle's swing status at a speed of about 150 times per second. If the sensors detect that the vehicle may tip over, the system will automatically activate to keep all four wheels stable. This sensor is particularly important when the vehicle is loaded with cargo.
However, in some special circumstances, such as when the vehicle is traveling off-road at a slow speed, or when crossing deep snow or muddy roads, the wheels need to spin at will, allowing the tires to find adhesion. , the driver can turn off the electronic stability enhancement system with the help of the center console button. The Lincoln Navigator can be equipped with an optional THX-certified Soundmark audio system, which is equipped with a DVD navigation system that provides voice activation, a touch-screen system interface and an in-dash 6-disc CD player. The Lincoln Navigator is currently produced at the Wayne Plant in Michigan, USA. The Lincoln Navigator adopts a newly designed front fascia with an embedded sunken grille and redesigned fog lamps. The upper part of the grille has been treated with the latest chrome plating. The surface finish has been improved and the standard fixed pedals have been redesigned to create a more harmonious side profile.
Lincoln Navigator is the only vehicle in its class to pass America's highest level of five-star crash testing for four consecutive years. A balanced chassis, precise steering and powerful braking provide the Lincoln Navigator with the first line of defense in critical situations: controllability. If a collision is unavoidable, a sturdy frame and a comprehensive set of safety features will effectively protect the lives of the driver and passengers. Other safety features include rollover protection side curtain airbags (Safety Canopy), dual front airbags and a newly upgraded standard tire pressure monitoring system.

TownCar
Lincoln Town is the most typical American super-large luxury car. Even for the non-extended version, the length of the car is close to 5.5 m, and the width of the car is close to 2.0 m, which greatly exceeds the 5.16 m and 2.89 m of the extended version of the Mercedes-Benz S series. However, the engine compartment and luggage compartment occupy a large part of the Lincoln city. As a result, the wheelbase is not advantageous even though the car is extremely long. The wheelbase of the extended version of the Mercedes-Benz S600 reaches 3.08 m, while in the city it is only 2.89 m.
Opening the engine compartment, the 4.6L displacement engine itself is very large, but together with other components, it only occupies two-thirds of the engine compartment space, which shows how huge the engine compartment space is.
The 4.6l displacement engine used in Lincoln City is a typical large-displacement, high-energy-consuming engine with a low compression ratio of only 9.4. 2 valves per cylinder, single overhead camshaft design. Old-fashioned technology makes the maximum power of this engine only 178kw. Lincoln City's younger brother, Lincoln Continental, also uses a 4.6l engine, but uses dual overhead camshafts, 4 valves per cylinder, and the maximum power reaches 202kw. The engine compartment of the Lincoln City is very well soundproofed. After the fire is started, you can hardly hear the sound of the engine, but you can feel a little vibration. Starting in D gear is relatively straightforward.
Lincoln City's seats are designed to be wide and flat, making it more comfortable to get in and out of the car. Carefully observing the various design elements of the Lincoln City, we found that neither the front or rear light clusters nor the shiny grille are very outstanding, but when combined together, there is a silent momentum. The city center console has a concise hierarchical structure. Basically all the control buttons are concentrated on the peach wood board in the middle. The buttons are arranged on the principle of ease of use. The city is not prepared for drivers. All its designs are centered on the passengers in the back row. The seats are wide and comfortable, with heating and massage functions. Once you sink in, it is like receiving an invitation to dreamland.
