Lincoln was founded in 1917 by Henry M. Leland. Leland was one of the founders of Cadillac, originally Henry Ford Company. Leland left General Motors to form the Lincoln Motor Company to build Liberty aircraft engines. After World War I the company was retooled to produce luxury automobiles. Quickly the company fell into financial trouble and was quickly purchased by Henry Ford, and the Ford Motor Company, on February 4, 1922.
