Ford Motor Company’s luxury Lincoln brand reported 8,168 new vehicle deliveries in September 2018 in the United States, a decrease of 7.2 percent compared to September 2017.
However, the comparison to September 2017 is somewhat distorted, since that period included a sales enabler of pent-up demand and replacement demand following Hurricane Harvey that swept through Texas.
