Henry Leland started the Lincoln Motor Car Company in 1920, who in 1902 had built the Cadillac Motor Car Company out of the remains of the failed Henry Ford Company. Lincolns quickly earned a reputation for their outstanding quality. Unfortunately, their conservative styling did not attract many buyers. By 1922 Lincoln was on the brink of bankruptcy and was sold to Leland's former nemesis, Henry Ford.
Under the direction of Edsel Ford it became a very styling automobile with production designs from the masters of American coach building. Lincoln was a robust car and was popular with rum runners and Police Departments alike. During the late 1920s and early 1930s each Detroit Police Precinct was assigned a Lincoln Phaeton for use by special squads, the chief of detectives, or the Police Commissioner.
