President Johnson,V8 Lincoln Zepher
President Johnson used his 1934 Ford Phaeton touring car for hunting. It’s equipped with a V8 Lincoln Zepher engine and a steel plate underneath to prevent damage when going over rough terrain. It was a maroon color with tan upholstery until 1962 when it was repainted red. A bar with running water is mounted on back of the front seat. V.I.P.’s to ride in this car include Hubert Humphrey, Dean Rusk, and Robert McNamara. The car is believed to have been given to the President by Wesly West. This is the first time we start to see presidents have any sort of collectible autos. Johnson owned several cars including a 1915 Fire Truck.
