Billy RutledgeHOST
What?
Shannon the DudeHOST
I go, "Well, look, I know it's Paul Miller Ford, but I've kinda always wanted to drive a Lincoln, and I know you guys got a Lincoln sitting there on the lot that you're trying to sell.
Shannon the DudeHOST
Do you mind if I drive it for a couple weeks?" [laughs]
Billy RutledgeHOST
Are you cruising around in a Lincoln right now?
Shannon the DudeHOST
I'm cruising around right now in a Lincoln Aviator.
Shannon the DudeHOST
And let me tell you something, Billy, this thing is awesome.
Shannon the DudeHOST
I mean, not only do you got, like, the leather interior, which is all comfortable and everything, drives like a dream, but it's also got not only heated seats, but heated steering wheel.

The mystery car would debut at the 1964 New York World's Fair.

So while the design teams got to work, Lee encouraged them to look at the Lincoln Continental Mark II for inspiration.
speaker_0HOST
He loved the Mark II's long hood and short rear deck, the kind of shape that makes a car look fast, even when it's parked outside a dentist office.
speaker_0HOST
That design idea would show up again later in Lee's career, including on the Dodge Viper.
speaker_1HOST
By 1967, he was executive vice president.
speaker_1HOST
And Mustang wasn't the only thing Lee had going for him.
speaker_1HOST
At the time, Lincoln was struggling.
speaker_1HOST
Cadillac was outselling it 5-1, and Ford needed a way to make Lincoln feel competitive again.
Jeff CannataHOST
... 'cause Woody Harrelson's not there 'cause he's working.
Jeff CannataHOST
And Matthew McConaughey, dude, that guy's got Lincoln money, right? He doesn't need this.
Jeff CannataHOST
Lincoln Lawyer money? He does have Lincoln Lawyer money, yeah.
Jeff CannataHOST
No, not Lincoln Lawyer, Lincoln the car.
Jeff CannataHOST
Oh, yeah, the car.
Jeff CannataHOST
Lincoln the car too.

It would be a good time to talk about him right now and see what's going on.
Ken ChesterHOST
The headline in automotive news, Ford plans to phase out China-built Lincoln models for the U.S. You want to know why? Here's why.
Ken ChesterHOST
Lincoln vehicles imported from China are currently subject to a U.S. tariff rate of 52.5%.
Ken ChesterHOST
which significantly reduces the company's profit margins.
Ken ChesterHOST
Aw, I would say they're probably losing money.
Ken ChesterHOST
Interesting thing, though, that particular Lincoln they're bringing in? Yeah, sales.
