Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

P W, power division, front and rear radios, automatic, wheel covers, wide whitewalls, skirts, dual outside mirrors, dual heaters, jump seats. raised roof. Good older paint, chrome and interior. 125 inch wheelbase stretch built by Henney for the Truman White House for use in New York City (not in Washington) and used for years thereafter. A competent older restoration that shows little age or use.

Market commentary

There are many facets to this Lincoln: its White House fleet history; its rare coachwork; its quality old restoration; its frumpy design. There are possibly eight more like it, or even sixteen, so its not exactly exclusive, and it sure isnt pretty. That makes the reported high bid pretty appropriate for it.
