A 1964 Lincoln Continental formerly owned by President Lyndon B. Johnson will be sold during the 40th annual Leake Collector Car Show & Auction in Dallas, November 16-18. The white Lincoln features an automatic transmission, 430 CI and a 320 HP V-8 engine. Often referred to as one of his presidential toys, President Johnson used this vehicle on his ranch where he retreated to relax. Many times he was spotted inspecting his ranch with the top down while the Secret Service trailed him. Documentation is available to confirm the previous ownership under the LBJ Foundation.
The Leake Collector Car Show and Auction will take place in Dallas Market Hall. Admission is $15 for adults and $10 for seniors and $7 for children. Doors open at 9am daily and the auction will begin at noon on Friday, 10am on Saturday and 11am Sunday.
The event will feature 550 vehicles including Cadillacs, Corvettes, Camaros, Shelbys, Thunderbirds, hot rods, customs and other vintage, collector, muscle and specialty cars. Car buyers, sellers and enthusiasts from a multi-state area are expected to attend the auction.
