The servicing Lincoln dealer list in the Mark II Encyclopedia published in an Owners Manual contains over 400 cities with dealers, but it doesn't account for the dozens of dealers in large metropolitan areas. Just a WAG, but there were probably 1,000 Lincoln dealers in this country.

Interestingly, Pat only finds just over 200 Introductory Units placed in showrooms on consignment. How did they pare down the distribution of 200 cars over 1,000 dealers? What qualifications were there? If I were a Lincoln dealer and my competition across town got one and I didn't, there'd be a revolt.

Were there even enough cars built by introduction to put one in each dealer, Pat?
