Lincoln Motor Company, or simply Lincoln, is the luxury vehicle division of American automobile manufacturer Ford.

- at over $4,000 for a factory body ($88,893 in 2023 dollars), the Model K competed against the Rolls-Royce Phantom II, Renault Reinastella, Duesenberg Model J, Mercedes-Benz Typ3 630 and the Cadillac V-12 (and V-16).
- While limiting sales, the move increased profitability per vehicle;
- For 1935, Lincoln was positioned upward in price.
- The next year, the V8 was retired, making Lincoln the first manufacturer in the world to produce vehicles exclusively with V12 engines.
- For 1932, Lincoln introduced its first "multi-cylinder" engine, introducing a V12 engine for the Model K.
- Competing against the Cadillac 355, Chrysler Imperial, Duesenberg Model J, and Packard Eight, the Model K offered both factory-designed bodies and coachbuilt designs.
- An all-new design (on a longer, lower chassis), the Model K introduced upgrades to the carburetor, brakes, and suspension.
- For the 1931 model year, the Model L was replaced by the Lincoln Model K.
- as many Lincolns were custom-bodied from the factory or coachbuilt, yearly styling changes would not properly accommodate its customer base.
- While the company had made minor revisions and upgrades to the model line to the chassis and powertrain, the body was largely left alone over its 10-year production, a business model shared with the Ford Model T. Lincoln found that customer interest was accommodated by the purchase of multiple Lincolns (or other luxury vehicles) in different body styles;
- During the production of the Model L, Lincoln did not adopt the common American automotive industry practice of yearly model changes.

- 1922 Lincoln Model L touring sedan
- Serving as a direct competitor to Cadillac, the Model L had become equal to vehicles from established American brands including Duesenberg, Marmon, Packard, Peerless, and Pierce-Arrow.
- By 1930, Lincoln had succeeded in only a decade in what its chief competitors had taken 30 years to accomplish.
- In 1924, a Lincoln Model L became the first state limousine used by a U.S. President on an official basis, supplied for Calvin Coolidge.
- After struggling to deliver cars before 1922, Lincoln was operating at a profit by the end of 1923.
- For 1923, Lincoln produced 7,875 cars (nearly 45% higher than in 1922).
- in line with a Duesenberg or a Rolls-Royce, customers could also purchase a Model L with coachbuilt bodywork.
- As a response, Edsel Ford introduced the Model L for 1923 in a custom-bodied form directly from Lincoln;
- At its introduction, the Lincoln Model L gained a reputation for conservative (to the point of outdated) design.
- The finis are taking their talents to South Beach.

- on June 10, 1922, the Lelands were forced to resign.
