Not Lincoln, but definitely Continental MKII. It was a different division altogether from Lincoln, so the part will not fit the 1956 Lincoln.
Ford and Chrysler, at different times, separated their luxury divisions for marketing purposes. Not forever, and both were quietly reunited later. Just that.
^^^^^^^^ I'm impressed!! The Power of the HAMB! THAT IS WHAT IM SAYIN! THE WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE THAT IS ON THIS SITE IS STAGGERING! HOPEFULLY IT GETS PASSED ALONG! THANKS AGAIN!
Henry bought Lincoln in 1922............1939 was the First Mention of Lincoln Continental Together don't know of a split. Lot's of Folks claim it belonged to Cadillac but it Didn't, The Lincoln Motor Company was started by a Cadillac Founder and had nothing to do with Cadillac.
in a round a bout way Henry started Cadillac, so yet another tie in! Cadillac was formed from the remnants of the Henry Ford Company. After a dispute between Henry Ford and his investors, Ford left the company along with several of his key partners in March 1902. Ford's financial backers William Murphy and Lemuel Bowen called in engineer Henry M. Leland of Leland & Faulconer Manufacturing Company to appraise the plant and equipment in preparation for liquidating the company's assets. Instead, Leland persuaded the pair to continue manufacturing automobiles using Leland's proven single-cylinder engine. A new company called the Cadillac Automobile Company was established on 22 August 1902, re-purposing the Henry Ford Company factory at Cass Street and Amsterdam Avenue. It was named after French explorer Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac, who had also founded Detroit in 1701
The Imperial became a separate division from Chrysler Corporation in 1954 and rejoined Chrysler in 1983, I believe.
