Artifact Overview
Chicago-based coachbuilders Lehmann-Peterson modified this Lincoln Continental limousine for presidential use and delivered it to Washington in October 1968. The extensive bullet-resistant glass panels provided good visibility for the president, while also providing maximum protection. The fold-down rear bumper and folding handrail in the rear deck allowed Secret Service agents to ride on the car.
