About

Established in 1984

The Lincoln Continental Owners Club (LCOC) carries a prestigious legacy that dates back to 1953, when it was founded by Dr. Elliston Bell to honor one of America’s most iconic luxury marques. As the organization grew in influence and scope, the Philadelphia region was officially established in 1984, creating a dedicated local community for enthusiasts in the Delaware Valley. Today, the club remains steadfast in its core mission: the preservation and presentation of classic and timeless Lincoln automobiles, ensuring these masterworks of automotive engineering and design are celebrated for generations to come.​
