Lincoln Motor Company Stock Certificate Book, 1922-1926
Add to SetSummary
Ford Motor Company purchased Lincoln Motor Company in 1922, after the struggling Lincoln was placed in receivership. Lincoln founders Henry Leland and Wilfred Leland hoped Ford would compensate Lincoln's original stockholders after the sale, and they later insisted there was an oral agreement to that effect. Four years of litigation failed to resolve the matter to the Lelands' satisfaction.
