Lincoln facts for kids Would you believe I found a web site called Kiddle that has information for children which includes information regarding Lincoln cars? A lot of us have children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews that we might want to share it with. It’s never too early to start recruiting LCOC members! It’s a really eclectic site with a huge range of content that they tout as being “kid safe”. Here are the links to Lincoln cars I found on the site. Lincoln Continental facts for kids Lincoln Motor Company facts for kids Lincoln MKT facts for kids Lincoln Town Car facts for kids Lincoln Navigator facts for kids We really need to get the owners of this one to join the club! Here’s probably the most uniquely modified Lincoln I’ve ever seen. It’s the “World Famous COW LIMO”. Their website states: “The cow limo is your one stop destination for the funniest night of your life!” “THE world famous cow limo is equipped like no udder! “Our cow has a very interactive experience with water sprayed from the udders & smoke from the cow bum. We deliver a fully immersible cow experience!” 2 | P a g e Newsletter - Lake Shore Region - Lincoln & Continental Owners Club March 23rd Tech Meeting and lunch in Woodstock See page 6 for more information Saturday Revcore Radiator - 2308 S.

As one of the oldest car manufacturers, Ford has a rich history, filled with interesting facts that you may not know. Check out these interesting Ford facts to learn more about what makes your Ford part of a brand treasured by car owners for decades. 1. Ford is the second largest family owned company in the world. Henry Ford’s great grandson, William Clay Ford, Jr. currently resides as the company’s executive chairman. 2. The very first Ford sold was to Dr. Pfennig in 1903, for a grand total of $850. The “Model A” had a 2-cylinder engine, and could reach a max speed of 30 mph 3. Ford’s current CEO, William Clay Ford, Jr., or Bill Ford, currently owns the first Ford vehicle ever sold in 1903. 4. Henry Ford and Thomas Edison were lifelong friends. As requested by Ford, Thomas Edison’s son captured Edison’s last exhale in a test tube and sealed it with a cork. Ford kept the tube as a memorial to Edison’s “life and breath.” 5. Ford’s signature blue, oval logo was not introduced until 4 years after the company had already been in production. 6. In 1914 Ford offered its employees double the current market average, creating Henry Ford’s “$5-a-day.” The new salary, accompanied by a shorter working day and company profit sharing, minimized employee turnover, and was significant in growing the middle class and fair wages movement. Henry Ford was quoted saying he wanted to help his workers to a “life” not just a “living.” 7. In 1964, after Ford debuted the Mustang, 94,000 pedal-powered toy mustangs were bought for children the following Christmas season. 8. In 1965, a Ford Mustang was transported in 4 separate pieces to the observation deck of the Empire State Building, using resident elevators, where it was reassembled and photographed by helicopter. The car was later reassembled inside the building, until it was eventually taken apart and removed from the building 5 months later. 9. The only car that Jim Morrison, legendary Doors singer, ever owned was a 1967 Shelby GT 500. 10. Chevrolet actually used a Ford SuperDuty to set up their Chevy Truck display at the Texas State Fair in 2012. 11. When former President Gerald Ford was describing his no-nonsense, style of governing, he was quoted as saying, “I’m a Ford, not a Lincoln,” comparing President Lincoln’s eloquence with Lincoln, the luxury car company owned by Ford Motor Company. 12. Ford F-Series as of 2013 (when the article was published) had been consistently ranked as the #1 selling car in America .

Believe it or not, I’m not normally a huge fan of rodents. Not that I hate them or anything, but once I found out that Mickey Mouse wasn't real…..well let’s just say enthusiasm for rodents in general took a bit of a hit. All that said I’m REALLY hoping that this whole bit with Punxsutawney Phil not seeing his shadow on Groundhog Day is the real deal. I really want an EARLY spring!! We all do. We have some lovely Lincolns that need to see some road time! If that little guy is wrong…….well does anyone have a recipe for groundhog stew? Be safe out there everyone!

  • Recap of 2019 Homecoming

    Recap of 2019 Homecoming

    SEE FORD BLUE IN KALAMAZOO With Lincolns, Mercurys and Edsels Too! By Mike Denney The Road Race Lincoln Register hosted 2019’s Lincoln Homecoming, August 7th through the 12th, 2019. The decision was made early on in the planning that we wanted to change it up this year by inviting all Ford products to the show. We welcomed 125 members and their families from all four Lincoln clubs plus Ford, Edsel and Mercury for this first time event featuring all Ford-built automobiles. All in all, the event was a success, however we were a little disappointed in the turn out of non Lincoln cars. The non- Lincolns that did show were high quality and pretty diverse. While many of us arrived on Monday to help set up registration and get organized for the weeks activities, Wednesday was when our first event took place. Some of our group drove out to the Gilmore Museum for their weekly cruise night. There was a large turnout of local cars of all types and ages, the evening was perfect! Those that choose to stay at the hotel got to enjoy a welcoming party with free appetizers and a cash bar. 1 Some of our Lincolns in front of the Kellogg Mansion Thursday there were two tours planned, one was to the Kellogg Bird Sanctuary and Kellogg Manor, where attendees were treated to a fantastic lunch at the mansion. The other tour was to Vicksburg Historical Village, where people could tour the village at their own pace. After the tours we were back at the Four Points Hotel for an Italian buffet.
