Serving three presidential administrations—Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, and Dwight D. Eisenhower—through World War II, this rare presidential car survived 18 years of active service and ran three different engine configurations: a 431 V16, a flathead V8, and a 331 OHV V8! Today, car collector Wayne Lensing owns this piece of automotive history. Known officially as the "Queen Elizabeth," it is currently on display in the Presidential Room at Historic Auto Attractions in Roscoe, IL. The museum has a large collection of presidential and other world leader vehicles on display, many of which we have made videos about!
