Lehmann-Peterson
Pages
Converted from the fabulous 1960s Lincoln
Continental platform,
Lehmann-Peterson built some of the greatest limousines ever.
Limousine great John
Bumgarner dates his fascination with limousines to the time he
saw the Lehmann-Peterson in the spectacular opening scene of the 1965 James Bond
film, Thunderball. "It was a scene with the car pulling through the
woods in front of a
big house... it was an ‘oh my gosh’ car," he enthuses. After having
not only bought,
sold, ridden in and built limousines for over twenty years, but having had a personal
hand in the launch of an entire industry of long cars, it’s quite something to
hear from this man of an "oh my gosh" car.
1969 Lehmann-Peterson Limousine
This magnificent example, pictured here and below, saw service
at the
White House and the State Dept. here and abroad.
