Lincoln
is no stranger to the limelight. Ford’s luxury nameplate can be spotted in everything, from the getaway car in Point Break to the original Batman TV series.More recently, the brand has capitalized on its affiliation with Matthew McConaughey, who starred in the 2011 film adaptation of Michael Connolly novel The Lincoln Lawyer, casting the actor in its commercials for the past seven years.
Now, Connolly’s novel is the springboard for a new series of the same name on Netflix. And once again, the luxury car maker is front and center. Jerry

In the Lincoln Lawyer movie, McConaughey’s character, Mickey Haller, drives (or, more accurately, is driven) around in an iconic 1979 Lincoln Continental. Even with an A-list movie star in the mix, the all-black boat of a car steals every scene it’s in.
For the series adaptation, Netflix chose to expand the automotive focus of the story, giving Haller (played this time by Manuel Marcia-Rulfo) not one but three Lincolns to roll through the streets of Los Angelos in.
Two new models are featured in the show to give the car brand some exposure. Haller’s driver, played by Jazz Raycole, chauffeurs the lawyer in either a 2022 Lincoln Aviator and 2022 Navigator.
But the real treat is the car Haller drives himself—a 1963 Lincoln Continental convertible.

What are the Lincolns in ‘Lincoln Lawyer’ worth?
As the “luxury” categorization might suggest, Lincolns are not cheap. And the two new models in Netflix’s new series are no exception.
The Lincoln Navigator is the brand’s most expensive model in the lineup right now. Car and Driver
says it starts at over $78,000, and the fully-loaded “Black Label” trim will cost you at least $107,700. The more affordable Aviator begins at nearly $53,000, with a top-trim price of nearly $80,000. But a fully loaded model can easily cost more than $90,000.
But let’s get to the good part. Any well-informed classic car enthusiast will tell you that a blue 1963 Lincoln Continental like the one in the show will turn a lot of heads, but Hagerty
says the average price for one in good condition is only $29,400. Car insurance for Lincolns
