In 1940, a new Lincoln K Series limousine arrived at the White House heavily modified to accommodate President Roosevelt. Nicknamed The Sunshine Special, it featured forward-facing jump seats and wider opening rear doors for FDR to enter and exit the vehicle. The Lincoln had extra-wide running boards, step plates on the rear bumper, and externally-mounted handles to allow agents to ride on the outside of the car. #throwbackthursday #mufflercityjax
