Alan Mulally, Ford Motor Co. president and chief executive officer, stands next to a Lincoln MKZ on Monday in New York. Ford is working to stop a 63 percent slide in Lincoln sales since the luxury line’s peak in 1990.

Ford Motor Co., seeking to revive sales of Lincoln vehicles, is fielding the brand’s first Super Bowl spot as well as a television commercial that portrays the U.S. president who gave the luxury line its name.
