Henry Kissinger’s personal Lincoln Continental.
Henry Kissinger’s personal Lincoln Continental Limousine, complete with bulletproof glass, comes up at the 42nd annual Dan Kruse Classics sale in Austin, Texas on September 10. Kissinger was U.S. Secretary of State under President Richard Nixon and won the 1973 Nobel Peace Prize for the Vietnam War accords. He was instrumental in the signing of a ceasefire agreement which ended the direct conflict but remained controversial over his “peace and honor” strategy which prolonged the war for four years. Kissinger continued to play a pivotal role in American foreign policy under President Ronald Reagan where he was chair of the National Bipartisan Commission on Central America. Known for his tough, skillful negotiating power he also served under President Bush.
The 1966 Lincoln Continental Limousine transported numerous diplomats and world leaders throughout Kissinger’s lengthy career in public service. The limousine has blue exterior and black interior.
