Lincoln never set up to produce cars in large quantities. The company went into receivership in 1922 and was purchased by Henry Ford for $8million.
At that time Lincoln production totaled less than 3,500 cars. Production resumed straight after the purchase and the Lincoln division was turned over to Edsel Ford.
Termed Continental because of its rear wheel spats and rear mounted covered spare wheel in the then style of Continental cars. It was chosen by the Museum of Modern Art for excellence as a work of art only three years after it was discontinued.

1/24th scale kit.
Built by Rod.
This model was made in the late 1990’s and has been sprayed with Halfords cars paints for the body and Humbrol enamels for the rest. Ink washes and dry brushing techniques have been used to give the model some realism. Inking in panel lines gives them depth while highlighting the prominent areas of the soft top and hood cover helps bring them to life.
