Pebble Beach - Lincoln promoted at top car show
Print Edition
Before dawn today when the fog rolls off the Pacific Ocean onto the fabled Pebble Beach golf course in California, 260 historic cars will roll onto the 18th fairway for the 63rd annual Concours d’Elegance classic car show.
Among them will be Hispano-Suizas, Duesenbergs, Bugattis, Bentleys, Lamborghinis and Lincolns.
That’s right, Lincolns. Ford Motor Co is trying to revive its luxury brand, which has been dormant for decades. Thus classic Lincolns from the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s are featured here, slated to compete for the coveted Best in Show award. And for the first time ever at Pebble Beach, Lincoln also promoted its newest models at pre-show events.
Among the featured Lincolns will be a 1956 Continental MK II that once belonged to Anne Ford, the first Mrs. Henry Ford II. Other rarities include a 1931 Lincoln K Murphy Sport Phaeton, owned by a couple from New Jersey, and a 1937 Lincoln K Willoughby 7 Passenger Touring, the property of a man from Montana.
But the recent prominence of new models and futuristic “concept cars” will be evident, too. Among those on display besides Lincolns, Cadillacs, Kias and Hyundais — are the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante and the Lamborghini Aventador LP 720-4 50th Anniversario Roadster.
