The Lincoln Continental Executive Limousine is a Limousine built by American manufacturer Lincoln (a division of Ford Motor Company), and converted to a stretched limousine by coachbuilder Lehmann-Peterson, based in Illinois. While Lincoln built the car as a standard four-door sedan, the final re-building was done at Lehmann-Peterson.
One of only 15 produced 1964 Continental Executive Limousines serves as the limousine used by Colonel Jacques Bouvar in Thunderball, he uses it to get from his own funeral (dressed as his widow) to his French chateau.
Although the car does not get too much screen time, it plays an important part when Bond finds out Bouvar is still alive: While entering the limousine, Bouvar opens the door by himself, without getting any assistance from his staff, which apparently is very suspicious behaviour, as a French lady in 1965 certainly would have done that.
