Is this President's Lincoln Limousine as described at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_State_Car_%28United_States%29 ? |

I have several pictures and information on the presidential fleet, but I couldn´t find any limo which resembles the one shown here. I wonder why Reagan got to meet this rather old-fashioned car... I think these were current when he was Governor of California (early 70s). |

It was a 1972 Lincoln Continental built by Ford in 1974, with 1975 fenders and trim. It saw presidential duties from Nixon through George H W Bush. It's in the Henry Ford museum today. |

This is not the rebodied '72 in the Ford museum. The '72 received a new front clip, open fender skirts, and taillights grafted onto the original bodywork. The roofline was largely derived from the '72, and remained untouched after the rebody. By contrast, this car is wearing the roofline, hubcaps, and fender trim as first debuting in '75. It is not the first time I've seen this car - very little documentation seems to exist about it. However, photos do exist of this vehicle which tie it to '75 - including shots of it during this very West Berlin visit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/that_chrysler_guy/6500701539/ Hence, listing should be updated to reflect: "1975 Lincoln Continental Presidential Limousine" -Kurt -- Last edit: 2013-04-27 07:32:51 |
