As Lincoln President Dianne Craig explained to the publication, &ldquo;For us to have a healthy and competitive premium franchise, we need to make sure our retailers have competitive throughput, and we need to make sure our clients have a wonderful experience when they go into our brand-exclusive stores.&rdquo; She added there are currently &ldquo;many, many dealers&rdquo; who only sell one or two vehicles per month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2023\/11\/fords-uaw-agreement-calls-for-new-electric-van-and-truck-hybrid-navigator-and-expedition\/\">Ford&rsquo;s UAW Agreement Calls For New Electric Van And Truck, Hybrid Navigator And Expedition<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lincoln appears to have a target of 400 dealers overall with a majority of them being standalone operations.
