I owned this in the 1970's, it came from out of Washington D.C. I bought it when I was 20 years old for $400.00! It had a Senate parking sticker on the windshield and was told it to belonged to Senator Hubert H. Humphrey, but I could never verify this. It had no division window and normal size rear window. I traveled in a band with it for a few years, sorry I had to sell it in 1977. |
This 1965 is owned by Sam in Grand Rapids, MI. It was originally owned by his grandparents
Daniel and Dorothy of Fremont, Mich who ordered it new in October, 1964. Sam rode in it when he was a kid
(it was driven by their longtime manservant), his grandparents owned it until his grandmother's death in 1989.
It was then brought to Northport, MI by his uncle and cousin and they owned it until 2002, when he took over. |
This 1966 Lehmann-Peterson was once owned by Coronel Jose Garcia Valseca a Mexician Militar who owned "El Sol De Mexico" newspapers, one of only 37 newspapers in all the Mexican Republic. The Coronel with more imagination and money build the 'Cadena Garcia Valseca' which was similar to the Hearst company. He passed away in 1981. Roberto says this was one of the most luxorious cars in Mexico during the sixties. |
Eli says the car has 14,000 miles on it, the rear interior is awesome and is
only missing the TV and the decanter set. The front seat area is in pretty good condition.
The air ride suspension took a year to complete. |
Thanks to Eric Nordac for sending in photos of this famous Dodge Lehmann-Peterson which was once owned by Mrs. Horace Dodge of Palm Beach society fame, she married the former head of the Dodge Automobile Company. The car was restored by Doug Shute and is in Virgina now, it has fresh paint and a new top, is also riding on heavy-duty, bullet proof tires. The owner is searching for the appropriate decanter & crystal glasses if anyone knows which ones they came with. |
