NO RESERVE AUCTION
WILL SELL TO THE LAST BIDDER WHEN THE AUCTION IS COMPLETED! IN 1966 FORD /LINCOLN MADE THE SPECIAL SHOW CAR THE LINCOLN
CORONATION COUPE. AS THE STORY GOS LBJ PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES REALLY WANTED ONE STYLED AFTER THE 1966. THE COACH BUILDER
AT THE TIME LEHMANN-PETERSON REFUSED TO MAKE ANY MORE IN THE 1966
STYLE. IT WAS VERY COMMON PLACE IN THAT ERA TO HAVE A COACH BUILDER
CUSTOMIZE YOUR SPECIAL CAR. SO THE NEXT BEST THING WAS THE DERHAM
COACH BUILDERS. IT IS BELIEVED THAT DERHAM MADE ONLY 2 STYLED AFTER
THE 1966 CORONATION COUPE IN 1967. A BLUE 1967 FOR THE FORD MOTOR
COMPANY THAT OWNED THE DETROIT LIONS AND THE WHITE ONE FOR PRESIDENT
LBJ. IT WAS KNOWN THAT LBJ LOVED HIS LINCOLNS AND OWNED SEVERAL. THE
CAR AFTER BEING PRODUCED WAS CANCELLED BY LBJ AND HE NEVER TOOK DELIVERY
OF THE CAR. THE CAR WAS OWNED BY A CAR COLLECTOR IN THE FLORIDA AREA,
THEN A COLLECTOR IN THE MICHIGAN AREA THEN FINALLY IN NORTHERN IDAHO
FOR OVER 20 YEARS. OBVIOUSLY IT IS VERY HARD TO DOCUMENT MANY OF
THESE ISSUES BUT MANY PHONE CALLS WERE MADE TO LEHMAN, LBJ RANCH,
ETC. THE RANCH SAID MOST PEOPLE HAVE DIED FROM THAT ERA BUT THEY "COULD
SEE LBJ DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT"
THE CAR WENT STRAIGHT FROM THE CAR MANUFACTURER TO THE COACH BUILDER!
ANYWAY THAT IS THE STORY THAT HAS FOLLOWED THE CAR FOR ALL THESE YEARS.
THE WORKMANSHIP IN THE CHANGE WAS PROFESSIONALLY DONE AND
COINCIDES WITH THE QUALITY OF WORK DERHAM WAS KNOWN FOR! THEY WERE
CONSIDERED THE BEST AND WERE HIRED BY MANY FAMOUS PEOPLE FOR SPECIAL
CAR CUSTOMS.
SOME OF THEIR SPECIAL CLIENTS WERE THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE:
POPE, PIUS X11, KING FAROUK, PRESIDENT EISENHOWER, GARY COOPER, RAYMOND
LOEEWY.
THEY WERE THE LONGEST LIVED COACH BUILDER AND THE ONLY CLASSIC ERA
COACH BUILDER THAT SURVIVED THE DEPRESSION!!
THE BROCHURE IN 1967 SHOWED DERHAM HIGHLIGHTING THE 1967 LINCOLN AS
ONE OF THEIR SPECIALTIES FOR CUSTOMIZATION. THEIR ORIGINAL IDEA FOR THE
