The 2016 Black Label range brought structure to Lincoln's luxury portfolio: the Continental sedan anchored the lineup alongside the MKZ, while the Navigator SUV provided three-row seating with available 3.5-liter EcoBoost power. Each body style came with bespoke interior trim, concierge services, and an array of personalization packages. Buyers could configure leather, wood, an
When Lincoln introduced the 2017 Black Label tier, it positioned itself against Cadillac's full-line luxury approach by offering a powertrain choice that mattered: the 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 delivering 400 horsepower sat alongside a naturally aspirated 3.7-litre option across the Continental, Aviator, Navigator, and MKT variants. Black Label buyers could configure their sedan, c
By 2018, Lincoln's Black Label lineup had matured into a credible alternative to Cadillac and Lexus, with the full range now available in US markets.

By 1954, Lincoln faced a decisive moment: the postwar luxury market demanded presence and power. The new Cosmopolitan and Capri arrived to answer Cadillac's dominance, both powered by a 317-cubic-inch V8 delivering 205 horsepower. Buyers could choose between the formal Cosmopolitan or the sportier Capri, each offering three body styles. Lincoln's answer was length, weight, and
The 1987 lineup offered buyers a choice that had largely vanished from American luxury: the saloon, the Continental Mark VII coupé, and the Town Car in both four-door and limousine configurations. Under the hood sat either a 2.4-litre six-cylinder producing 140 horsepower or a pair of V8 options, the larger displacing 5.0 litres and good for 150 hp. Buyers stepping into a Linco
By 1997, Lincoln's North American lineup reached showrooms at a moment when American luxury buyers faced a widening choice between domestic prestige and imported European marques.
