The Lincoln Motor Company is a division of the Ford Motor Company that sells luxury vehicles under the Lincoln brand. Henry Leland, a former manager of the Cadillac division of General Motors, and his son, Wilfred Leland, founded The Lincoln Motor Company in 1917. Henry Martyn Leland (1843-1932) was an American machinist, inventor, engineer and automotive entrepreneur. He founded the two premier American luxury automotive marques, Cadillac and Lincoln. Leland named the new company after Abraham Lincoln, his hero and for whom he cast a vote in 1864. Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) was the 16th President of the United States, serving from 1861 until his assassination in 1865. Lincoln's first source of revenue came from assembling Liberty aircraft engines, using cylinders supplied by Ford Motor Company, to fulfill World War I government contracts. After the war, the Lincoln factories were retooled to manufacture luxury automobiles. Ford Motor Company purchased the Lincoln Motor Company in 1922, but Lincoln continued to operate as a somewhat separate company from Ford through early 1940.
