Born in the depths of the Great Depression
The Stock Market Crash of October 1929 quickly morphed into the Great Depression, which reached a nadir in 1931 as the worst effects of the American downturn impacted other nations. And yet in the midst of these cataclysmic economic events, there were still folk who could pay the then-astonishing price of $5,000 a luxury car like this Lincoln. The company was by then in the hands of Ford Motor Company, whose deep pockets enabled the brand to withstand the fiscal hurricane better than other top-end manufacturers.
