History of LEHMANN-PETERSON Limousines: Robert 'Pete' Peterson and George 'Skip' Lehmann founded Lehmann-Peterson in 1963. Mr. Peterson had an automobile racing history serving as chief mechanic and building racers for use at Indianapolis. Lehmann had received a large inheritance at the age of 21 from his father who died in Boston's Coconut Grove Night Club fire. The pair established a shop in a Chicago garage on Harlem Avenue. Using a standard 1963 Lincoln, they cut it in half and added a 34-inch stretch. They also added a plague that reads 'Executive Limousine by Lehmann-Peterson.' Only one example was ever created by Lehmann-Peterson in their Chicago garage. When production began, they moved to a shop at 2710 North Sawyer Avenue and one on Amitage Street.
History of This LEHMANN-PETERSON Limousine:
1966 Lincoln Continental Executive Limousine by Lehmann-Peterson Coach Builders with Original 43,325 miles (accurate) and is being sold with a transferable NY state registration and bill of sale. One of 159 produced in 1966 which was originally sold from a dealership in Amarillo, Texas. In 2005 the limo received the following work: voltage regulator, air conditioning repair with new compressor, receiver dryer, electric cooling fan, turn signal switch, upper steering column bearing and rubber gasket, transmission linkage and o-ring, master cylinder was converted to dual master brake cylinder, fuel pump and fuel push rod and a Sony audio stereo with the 6-CD changer in trunk area. The same year the rear area was restored with new upholstery of both facing benches, carpeting and beverage compartment with flute holders. After sitting for several years this month we gave the Limo a tune up with plugs, wires, points, rotor, rebuilt carb, battery, new tires and a nice paint job. Motor runs good and idles nice, Transmission shifts smooth, brakes stop good and power steering is easy to turn. All the glass in in great condition with no chips or scratches. Interior is clean and with no rips or tears in the upholstery and foam is good. The back part of the headliner has some water spots from the original wood glass retainer. This was replaced with a welded in metal piece. The exterior was painted last month with vary minimal rust repair (no rust throughs). The chrome is all in excellent condition and complete with no dents. I do have the Lehmann-Peterson badges. The door locks and windows need some attention as some do not function. I have had many 1960’s Lincolns and the limo are the rare and the most fun. Car is being sold to fund a new venture in life otherwise it would be kept as there are only a few still on the road. Overall this is an amazing car that demands attention and you will be a Rock Star with the only one around. Car is 20 minutes from Salt Lake City, Utah International Airport and can be viewed with appointment. A seroius buyer may call anytime (801- 979 - 4670).
Thank you for viewing and have a Happy and Prosperious New Year! |

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.
Conan O'Brien takes McConaughey's Lincoln ad to its logical conclusion
Thu, 11 Sep 2014We all had to see this coming. Conan O'Brien has released a parody of Matthew McConaughey's new ads for the 2015 Lincoln MKC and remixed them with lines from one of his most critically acclaimed recent roles.
The now much darker commercial probably isn't how Lincoln would prefer the MKC to be marketed, but really in a few of the actual ads, McConaughey already seems moments away from breaking into a full Rustin Cohle from True Detective impression. The cadence and tone of his voice are just so close to that character, especially in the one where he's talking to the bull standing in the middle of the road. It very nearly verges on parody anyway; Conan is just turning all of this up to 11.
It's a little surprising that the writers didn't dig a little deeper into the McConaughey oeuvre for the parody. Maybe McConaughey could have taken the MKC for a party at the Moon Tower from Dazed and Confused. In any case, it's worth a quick watch, so check it out.
Lincoln releases power and economy ratings for 2015 MKC with 2.3L EcoBoost
Thu, 05 Jun 2014As the first 2015 MKC crossovers slip into dealerships, Lincoln has confirmed power and fuel economy ratings for the compact crossover's optional 2.3-liter Ecoboost four-cylinder engine.
The new range-topping powerplant, thus far otherwise unavailable in the Blue Oval kingdom, will net a healthy 285 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 305 pound-feet of torque from 2,750 revs. Those figures represent gains of 10 hp and 5 lb-ft over earlier estimates, putting the handsome new compact CUV in the hunt with up-engined rivals from Audi and BMW. (A variant of the 2.3L will shortly find its way into the engine bay of the 2015 Ford Mustang, albeit with a number of key changes, including north-south orientation.)
In the MKC, the new engine will net 18 miles per gallon in the city and 26 on the highway with standard all-wheel drive, meaning it only loses a single mile per gallon in the city cycle versus the 240-hp, 270-lb-ft 2.0L EcoBoost model when fitted with all-wheel drive. Both engines rely on the same six-speed SelectShift automatic transmission.
