Lincoln will launch the unnamed subscription program in California. It will include access to a car along with insurance, maintenance, roadside assistance, and vehicle pickup, all in a month-to-month plan. The program will be similar to Ford’s Canvas subscription program that launched in May, Lincoln says, though we should point out that the Ford program is specifically for used vehicles.

The $73,250 price, which includes shipping, gets you a Lincoln Navigator Premiere model.

To capitalize on her elegance and popularity, executives at Ford Motor Company loaned Jackie a gleaming white 1961 Continental four-door convertible for tooling around Washington, D.C.
