Ford Motor Company has filed a patent for a Lincoln L100 Concept diecast model, Ford Authority has learned.
The patent was filed on August 5th, 2022, published on February 25th, 2025, and assigned serial number 1063706.
The Ford Authority Take
It’s been a while since we last saw a patent filing for a Lincoln concept based diecast – the all-electric Star SUV, which was published last July, signaling that a small, toy version of that model might one day come to fruition. Now, this newly published patent presents us with a design concept for a Lincoln L100 Concept diecast as well, which is yet another all-electric proposal that we’ve seen emerge from The Blue Oval’s design studio in recent years.
The Lincoln L100 Concept debuted back in August 2022 as an homage to the 1922 Model L – the brand’s very first luxury vehicle – while also reimagining its future. The exterior design is an exercise in aerodynamic efficiency, as the concept is low, seamless, and flush, with a “K-Tail” designed to guide air over the vehicle. Open the reserve-hinged doors, and one will find a cabin with swiveling seats – since this is a fully autonomous vehicle – and power comes from next-generation batteries and related tech. While it won’t likely ever make it to production, fans of the Lincoln L100 Concept may at least one day be able to buy a diecast version of it, given this new patent filing, though that remains to be seen.
“Submitting patent applications is a normal part of any strong business as the process protects new ideas and helps us build a robust portfolio of intellectual property,” Ford said in a statement. “The ideas described within a patent application should not be viewed as an indication of our business or product plans. No matter what the patent application outlines, we will always put the customer first in the decision-making behind the development and marketing of new products and services.”
Comments
So, to be clear… Lincoln’s new flagship “vehicle” is going to be launched, first, as a toy car.
Seems to me Lincoln is more interested in toys than in production vehicles, they might even include diecast sales with their total sales.
