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!

Sunday Drive: Trucks and SUVs of all shapes and sizes

Sun, Nov 5 2017

The American automotive marketplace is dominated by trucks and SUVs, and so was the last week of coverage on Autoblog. By far, the most popular story of the week was our First Drive of the 2018 Lincoln Navigator. It may look like an old-school lumberer, but in reality Lincoln's flagship is a thoroughly modern, turbocharged-V6-powered, three-row, luxury people mover. The Jeep Wrangler is the world's most recognizable vehicle. So it's no surprise that the next version looks a whole heck of a lot like the last one, and the one before. It's all in the details, which is why we were so excited when Jeep decided to unleash a trio of images showing both two- and four-door Wranglers for us to dissect ahead of the SUV's official debut at the L.A. Auto Show later this year. Past that, spy photos of the next Chevy Silverado and Ram 1500 were predictably popular. See both of those below, and the cap it all off, check out the entire week's worth of SEMA coverage – including the bonkers Hennessey VelociRaptor 6x6 – in our mega image gallery at the bottom of this post. Enjoy! As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2018 Lincoln Navigator First Drive | From black sheep to flagship 2018 Jeep Wrangler revealed: First photos released before L.A.

Lincoln Aviator to return as a concept in New York

Thu, Mar 15 2018

The keen Canadian eyes at Autoguide spotted on Lincoln Canada's Twitter feed that the Lincoln Aviator will be resurrected at the 2018 New York Auto Show in two weeks, albeit in concept car form. Given that today's Continental and Navigator were previewed with thinly veiled concepts, it's therefore safe to assume that we'll eventually see a production Aviator. According to Automotive News back in 2016, Aviator should be a three-row crossover based on the next-generation Explorer. So essentially, it will replace the MKT, which was last seen picking people up at your local airport and essentially nowhere else. This content is hosted by a third party.

The original sold from 2002 to 2005 was also based on the Ford Explorer, and although relatively well-received by car reviewing types at the time, it never caught on with the buying public. Its failure is still a bit surprising given the similar SUV fever of that era. The resurrection of the Aviator name also coincides with the return of Continental and the introduction of Nautilus, which replaces the MKX. However, have no fear MK enthusiasts, the MKZ and MKC still live on. You can be in charge of letting people know just exactly which cars those are.

Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4-Door and Fiat 124 Spider Abarth | Autoblog Podcast #596

Fri, Sep 27 2019

In this week's Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder and Associate Editor Joel Stocksdale. This week, they focus on the cars they're driving, starting with the hardcore, four-door Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S. Then they move on to the aging Lexus GX 460 and the plucky Fiat 124 Spider Abarth. They discuss the practical-yet-luxurious Lincoln Nautilus, as well as the state of Lincoln as a whole (did you hear it just got a new design boss?). Finally, they help pick a modern vehicle for someone with a hankering for the look of the classic Ford Bronco.
