This is page 142 from the latest Vanity Fair. I was drawn to the automobile in this photo. At first I thought it was a Chrysler product, but no, it's a Lincoln. And then I thought, hey, Lincolns weren't this round for most of the 50s, what year is this? The closest I can figure is maybe it's a '50. And then this makes me wonder....January, 1961 and the new President is being taxied around in a eleven year old car? Is that the way we did things back then? I mean, the Caddy behind them is old too, but probably a '55 or '56.
And they say the Democrats spend too much!
ReplyDeleteAs wikipedia says the cars were delivered 1950 and used until 1965. Custom built Lincoln Cosmopolitans.
