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.

The Ford Motor Car Company was impressed with the prototype example and especially enjoyed the seating arrangement which facilitated and inspired conversation. Ford retained the car for further testing and would eventually put 40,000 miles on the car. On February 25th of 1964, Ford and Lehmann-Peterson reached an agreement. The car was shown at the New York International Automobile Show in April of 1964.

Over the next six years, Lehmann-Peterson would produce nearly 600 limousines. In 1966, Lincoln began advertising these modified limousines in their Lincoln catalogue. The base price was $13,400 which was considerably more than the sedan which was selling at $5790. With options, the price of limousines often approached $20,000.

It has a wheelbase that measures 160-inches, a 462 cubic-inch engine rated at 240 horsepower, and a three-speed automatic transmission.

In 2009, A Executive Limousine was offered for sale at the Houston Classic Auction in Seabrook, Texas, presented by Worldwide Auctioneers. The car was estimated to sell for $70,000 - $90,000 and offered without reserve.

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.

 Seller will help with shipping but buyer to cover shipping cost.

A seroius buyer may call anytime (801- 979 - 4670).

 

Thank you for viewing and have a Happy and Prosperious New Year!

Junkyard Gem: 2004 Lincoln Navigator Ultimate 4x4

Tue, Oct 24 2023

Things in the American SUV world got a lot more interesting during the late 1990s, when Ford and GM realized that the best way to print bales of money did not involve bringing over their European-market sedans for sale here. Instead, they would take their big sport utility vehicles, pry off the badges of their proletariat-grade marques, and slather them in luxury materials and the latest gadgetry. Ford was first with the Ford Expedition-based Lincoln Navigator in the 1998 model year, with The General transforming the GMC Yukon Denali into the Cadillac Escalade a year later. Today's Junkyard Gem is an early second-generation Navigator, found in a Denver-area car graveyard. The second-generation Navigator was built for the 2003 through 2006 model years. It didn't look much different from its predecessor, but it (and its Expedition sibling) had a brand-new independent rear suspension that gave it a lower rear floor and a somewhat less truck-ish ride. This generation of Navigator was the first luxury SUV to offer powered retractable running boards. This truck, being a top-trim-level Ultimate, has them. With an MSRP of $56,140 (about $93,069 in 2023 dollars), the Navigator Ultimate 4x4 was the most expensive new production car or light truck offered by the Ford Motor company in the United States as a 2004 model. The introduction of the $149,995 Ford GT the following year stole that crown from the Navigator, of course. That's genuine walnut trim, not the phony wood that went into Malaise Era Lincolns. The dash layout was inspired by that of the 1961 Continental, according to Lincoln PR. Power came from a 5.4-liter DOHC V8 rated at 300 horsepower and 355 pound-feet. Curb weight approached three tons. This one looks to have been in good cosmetic condition when it got here. A quick VIN check shows that it was for sale at a Denver used-car joint a few months back, with just under 140,000 miles on the odometer and a price tag of $4,900 (which is about $3,104 in 2004 dollars, or a depreciation of nearly 95% in 19 years). Perhaps the engine or transmission failed soon after that, leading to this grim fate. That wood-and-leather steering wheel felt … just like a football? You could operate its power features in time to music, if you so chose. The 2004 Navigator was forced to share this commercial with the smaller Explorer-based Aviator.

2019 Lincoln MKC crossover dials up the luxury perks

Tue, Nov 21 2017

Lincoln is taking the wraps off its 2019 MKC, which hits showrooms next summer, revealing a substantially refreshed, more stylish compact luxury crossover that adds new driver-assistance and connectivity technologies and a host of premium ownership perks and options. They include new Black Label personalized trim themes and the ability to pick an exclusive dinner from a curated list of chef-driven restaurants. As we previously forecast, the MKC gets the new Continental-style grille, plus new LED headlamps and a neat touch in a Lincoln welcome mat illuminated on the ground from underneath both front doors to welcome driver and passenger. It also adds new driver-assist features including a pre-collision assist warning and braking system that can detect pedestrians, plus available options like lane-keeping alerts, parallel-parking assistance and a blind spot information system. Owners can also opt for the Lincoln Black Label treatment, which includes premium trim upgrades but also a roster of membership perks: annual vehicle detailing, anytime carwashes and access to a curated list of restaurants where feted chefs will prepare a special dining experience. There are three Black Label themes, each inspired by the arts, travel, fine food and culture: Modern Heritage, defined by a clean, modern aesthetic and Vianca White Venetian leather Indulgence, which lives up to its billing with surfaces trimmed in Venetian leather and Alcantara and accents from Ziricote wood And Center Stage, inspired by the world of theater, featuring a diamond-L perforation pattern on the Alcantara cloth inserts finished with precisely stitched Foxfire Red piping, exotic wood accents and Jet Black Venetian leather with Firefox Red accents. In addition, the Reserve trim features a Rialto Green cabin with black ash wood accents, which Lincoln says reflects a current theme popular in high fashion. Other options include a panoramic roof and heated and cooled seats. As part of what the Ford sub-brand calls the "effortless ownership experience," the MKC will come with standard pickup and delivery service to and from dealerships for service visits, plus the use of a loaner Lincoln while the car is being worked on. Lincoln says it's the only luxury brand that offers such a service standard.

2015 Lincoln MKC aims to rejuvenate the brand... again

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Ford is slowly but surely attempting to revitalize the Lincoln brand, with the new MKZ sedan pointing the way forward for the Blue Oval's struggling luxury division. Here at the LA Auto Show, Lincoln is showing the next new product that aims to give the brand new life, the 2015 MKC crossover.
The MKC is based on the trusty Ford Escape, but this is far more than just a rebadge job. Lincoln has used completely new sheetmetal here, with the brand's familiar split-wing grille front and center, and a classy, wraparound tailgate with super slim taillamps that span the width of the hatchback. It's one of the better applications of Lincoln's new design language we've seen thus far, and the end result is a taut-looking crossover that is at the same time both modern and luxurious-looking.
Further differentiating itself from the Escape, the MKC packs an all-new 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, good for 275 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque. (On the base end, Ford's 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder with 240 hp and 270 lb-ft is available.) The MKC also uses a new Continuously Controlled Damping adaptive suspension, and is available with both front- and all-wheel drive.
