Lehmann-Peterson of Chicago was a highly-respected builder of Lincoln limousines from 1964 to 1970 and has a very interesting history that makes the brand of special note. On February 24, 1964, Ford and Lehmann-Peterson reached an agreement to do business together, and Ford was so impressed with the quality of the conversions that it agreed to allow the normal two year or 24,000 mile warranty to apply to the limousines produced by Lehmann-Peterson.

A Lincoln Continental Executive Limousine by Lehmann-Peterson debuted at the New York International Auto Show in April, 1964, and a total of 15 were built for the model year.

Lehmann-Peterson incorporated in 1964, becoming Lehmann-Peterson, Inc. Executive Limousine owners read like a Who's Who of society and business, with the new Lincoln becoming the motorcar of choice with government officials and business executives. Celebrities also bought them, including Jerry Lewis (1963), Jackie Gleason (1968), Sophia Loren (1966), Spencer Tracy, Ronald Reagan (1965), Robert Vaughn (1965), Victor Borge, Senator Robert Kennedy (1968 - assassinated before delivery), President Lyndon B. Johnson (1965), Governor Nelson Rockefeller, Hugh Hefner, and Aristotle Onassis. Musical groups The Rolling Stones and The Supremes also purchased them, as did Elvis Presley (1967). Even the Soviet Union purchased on for foreign minister Andrei A. Gromyko (1965). During the seven years they were in production, Lehmann-Peterson built a total of 567 Executive Limousines.

This 1965 example is reported to be in original condition and is powered by a 430-cid V-8 engine with automatic transmission. Of course, the car is laden with the majority of conveniences and accessories that were available in period to allow for motoring in a grand style. To arrive for an affair in a high-end limousine in the mid-1960s displayed the zenith of class and style. This Lincoln will remind one of the time when elegance and panache dominated the nightlife and the vehicles the beautiful people arrived in.
