As one of many luxury car brands, our customers want to know what Lincoln\u2019s purpose is and what we\u2019re about. And we have news for you: it\u2019s not horsepower, and it\u2019s not technology, though we do those well.<\/p>\n

Instead, Lincoln is a company about American leadership. It was named after Abraham Lincoln by its founder Henry Leland, who was so inspired by the landmark president that he preferred to have the president\u2019s name on his cars instead of his own.<\/p>\n

For years the Lincoln Continental was the official car of the U.S. presidency. During the 1960s-1980s, the Continental was the car for the head of state. The last Lincoln to serve the president was a modified 1989 Lincoln Town Car that was in use until 1993, at which point the executive office switched over to Cadillac.<\/p>\n

The Lincoln Continental hung on until 2002 and was discontinued for more than a decade. That\u2019s changing, however, with the rebirth of the Continental, which will appear in the fall of 2016. Obviously we\u2019re hoping to see its placed restored by the occupant of the oval office.<\/p>\n

Because at its core, that\u2019s what Lincoln is about. It\u2019s about honoring America\u2019s leaders. Whether you\u2019re a small business owner, an independent professional, an artist, a caregiver, a homemaker, or even a celebrity like Matthew McConaughey, Lincoln is about serving those who take leadership in the U.S.A. and help us all to move forward.<\/p>\n

It takes guts to be a leader. It\u2019s hard work to put your vision out there and call people to work alongside you. But America has a long tradition of firsts, and a long line of leaders who have brought out the best of us. If that makes sense to you, then you might want to give Lincoln a second look.<\/p>\n
