Lincoln Television Commercial - 1992
Lincoln Television Commercial - 1992

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.
