A make of car from the Lincoln-Mercury division of
Ford Motor Company. Lincolns come in two main flavors as of model year 2000: Mark VIII and Continental. They are generally big
luxury cars, like
Caddies, but a little less
ostentatious (as if there's a big difference when you're spending $40K on an American luxury sedan...). The Mark series is smaller and has come in a Luxury Sport Coupe version, while the Continentals are often converted to
limos.
John F. Kennedy was shot riding in a Lincoln Continental (one of the many
weird connections between Presidents Kennedy and Lincoln.
1970s Lincolns are
straight-up pimpmobiles.
