Lincoln Television Commercial - 1992

Video Title :	Lincoln Television Commercial - 1992
Description :	This commercial was made to mark the 70th anniversary of Ford's takeover of the Lincoln Motor Company in 1922. The advertising agency filmed the vintage cars around the beautiful Beaux-Arts Opera House in San Francisco's Civic Center. Even though the agency had contracted owners of older and rare examples of early Lincolns, they chose to do close-ups of the 1930 sedan (you will see the trademark greyhound radiator cap designed by Gorham), which opens the commercial. Other cars seen include an early Continental and a Zephyr, lower-priced cars that were produced to offset the huge losses caused by the manufacture of the luxury Lincolns, models L and K and KB. This commercial was produced before Lincoln lost all class by manufacturing a station-wagon-like sport utility vehicle, the Navigator. Next thing you know, Cadillac will do something just as ridiculous.

Yeah!Them and the Mark IV's of the mid-70's.

He bought it,so Edsel could have his own car company,to tinker with.Henry didn't want Edsel "gentrifying" the Ford products,or turning them into street racers---like the Dodge brothers were doing.Edsel and his engineers patented the first two stage two barrel carbeuretor with vaccuum advance in 1929 and the 448 CID V-12(115 hp) in 1931.

Say what?

anyone else see a jaguar symbol on that old car?

It's not a cat, it's a dog. Originally Lincoln used a deluxe Mot-o-Meter radiator cap. Edsel Ford, who transformed Lincoln into one of the most beautiful luxury cars of the 1920s and '30s, had the Gorham Silver Co. design a greyhound radiator cap for his personal Lincoln. It was so handsome and distinctive, the company made it standard equipment by about 1926. (It is nickel-plated bronze with a steel linkage welded to the inside of the radiator)

i dont know if it was a jag

Lincolns used to be fantastic cars. Mark VII and Mark VIII in particular were very nice.
