Chronology
SuccessorLincoln K series/Model K

The Lincoln L series (also called the Lincoln Model L) is the first automobile that was produced by the Lincoln Motor Company.[1] Introduced in 1920, the L series would continue to be produced after the bankruptcy of Lincoln in 1922 and its purchase by Ford Motor Company.

It was an alternative to various top level luxury vehicles to include the Mercedes-Benz 630, Rolls-Royce Phantom I, Renault Type MC, Packard Twin Six, and Cadillac Type 61. It was replaced during 1930 by the Model K.

Assembly of the L series took place in Detroit, Michigan.
