Built by Lehmann-Peterson and Company formed in 1963 near Chicago and was the official supplier of Lincoln Executive Limousines for the Ford Motor Company.

This example serial No. 9Y82A-867780 bought new through the office of President pro tempore Carl Hayden of the United States Senate for President Lyndon B.
