JOHN F. KENNEDY BLACK MARK V LINCOLN USED AS HIS "PERSONAL" CAR.

A black 1960 Lincoln Continental Mark V Executive Limousine used by Kennedy around the White House. Built by Lincoln, and modified by Hess and Eisenhardt, with bulletproof doors, divider window, passenger air controls, power steering and brakes, and uncommon two-way telephone in the back seat; original interiors, with restoration to the body (bills included).
Provenance: White House Motorcade (probably leased by Lincoln); sold to Dr. James C. Walsh, March 1964; donated to Kirkland Hall College, Easton, Maryland (letter included); sold to George W. De Franceaux, and leased to Allstate Exhibit Company for a lengthy exhibition "of the John F. Kennedy automobile"; sold to Museum of American Tragedy; sold from their collection, 1998, to John Reznikoff; sold Camelot: 50 Years After Dallas, RR Auction, Boston, October 24, 2013, lot 140.

JOHN F. KENNEDY MOTORCADE LIMO FOR "PERSONAL USES." A beautiful motor pool limousine, with an excellent association to President Kennedy. The first owner after it's lease to the government, James C. Walsh, attested:

"I spoke to Mr. Campbell Schmidt Jr. ... an official of the Washington office of the Ford Motor Company. He told me that President Johnson had switched all the White House cars ... As a result the Ford Motor Company was going to sell this car and at my wife, Mary's, insistence I purchased it on the spot ... The late president had been exceptionally gracious to our son ... who had attended the White House school ... It is because of this association that I had the opportunity to meet the late president and to know in fact that he did use this car for his own personal uses in contrast to the official use of the larger White House limousine."
