Vestibule Limousine

1n 1909, President William Howard Taft ordered a Pierce-Arrow to be used for State occasions. This was a very considerable honor for a motor car that had been in production for only eight years. Later the Government decided to order yet another very special car and had it prepared to meet President Woodrow Wilson when he returned from the historic Versailles Peace Conference in 1919. The President enjoyed the vehicle so much that when he left office he acquired it for his own use. It was first restored in 1973 and a definitive restoration was undertaken in 1990. The highly personal 'mascot' of Princeton University was replaced by the original Presidential crest at that time.
