Custom 1969 Lincoln Continental Limousine - Jackie Gleason

This 1969 Lincoln Limousine was custom-built for entertainer Jackie Gleason by Carron and Company, of Inkster, Michigan for an approximate cost of $65,000.

The Lincoln has been lengthened and has had the grille extended forward. The Lincoln name doen not appear anywhere on the car but the Lincoln logo does. The car has dual sun roofs and all the expected interior amenities one would expect.

Gleason believed in "living large".
