Thanks to Peg Peterson for this photo.



The Limousine being prepped for shipment from the Lehmann-Peterson shop.

Many of the features on this car were later copied by Hess & Eisenhardt, specifically the retracting rear bumpers and hand grips, these were Peterson invention.

Inside picture from the rear seat looking forward, note that the partition is armor plated although the entire front compartment has no armor plating at all. This possibly for weight and handling purposes. Peterson could never find out because all details on the construction were on a Secret Service "need to know" basis.
