Super rare and Stunning 1967 Lincoln Continental Limo!

Custom interior and beautiful wheels! Awesome for a collector or wanting to enjoy the back seat relaxation! After World War II and the Great Depression, other than Cadillac, most automobile manufacturers called it quits with the coach building business. Clearly, this did not sit well with the folks over at Lincoln, Ford. In September of 1962, two men recognized a rare moment of automotive opportunity: fellow racing enthusiasts George Lehmann and Peterson. Originally, their interaction was limited to the race car world, yet the entrepreneurial instincts of Lehmann and the master mechanic skill set of Peterson would soon bless the limousine manufacturing world with their the spring of 63, Lehmann purchased a Continental Sedan, brought it to a used car lot garage on Harlem Avenue in Chicago. His partner, Peterson cut the car in half, and added 34 inches of reinforced steel to the new gap in the frame. While creative style and genius engineering was underway at the shop, Lehmann set up the meeting in Dearborn for the brass at Ford. The new limousine passed all of Fords testing parameters, and after running strong for over 40,000 miles of road work, the Lincoln Continental Lehmann-Peterson limousine was put into production. Debate exists over the number of units manufactured between 1963-70 before Lehmann and Peterson went onward towards new ventures. While, its estimated somewhere between 429-594 were created, most agree that a total of less than 130 still survive. A many stars and musicians had the privilege of calling the cabin their home away from home, from Elizabeth Taylor to Elvis Presley. The presidential fleet put the Cadillac limousine on the bench, and chauffeured JFK, assassinated in 1963, LBJ, Nixon and Regan. While elite enough to parade Pope Paul VI, it was also so ahead of its time to be featured in the 2011 futuristic sci-fi flic In Time starring Justin Timberlake.
