Quest for Perfection 1928 Lincoln Dietrich Limousine An Instant Status Symbol Unfortunately today, Edsel Ford is best remembered for a car he had nothing to do with, the late 1950's fabulous failure the Edsel, and not at all for his greatest success, the Lincoln. Henry Leland, who left Cadillac in 1917 and started Lincoln, ran into financial troubles in the early 1920's and sold the company to his friend Henry Ford. Ford's son Edsel became president and quickly turned the Lincoln from dowdy to distinguished. He used all the great coach makers of the time, including Dietrich who built this 1928 7-passenger convertible limousine. Using Ford's typical ingenuity, these were really semi-custom bodies as Lincoln made 50 to 100 of each style at a time. Very few remain today as their aluminum body skin and crankcase became worth more than the car during WWII's scrap metal drives.
