I Found President Roosevelt’s Lost Car — 1939 Lincoln Sunshine Special Restoration
Published at : 23 Dec 2025
This video documents the discovery and restoration process of a 1939 Lincoln Model K “Sunshine Special”, a historic presidential limousine associated with Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States.
Once a symbol of American leadership in the late 1930s, this vehicle was later abandoned and left to deteriorate for decades. Covered in extreme rust, corrosion, and environmental damage, the car represents one of the most challenging preservation projects involving a pre-war presidential automobile.
The restoration focuses on real, physical work performed step by step, showing the true condition of the vehicle without exaggeration or shortcuts. Every stage highlights the effort required to preserve an important piece of American automotive and political history.
This project is intended for:
Classic car restoration enthusiasts
Viewers interested in presidential history
Fans of abandoned and forgotten vehicles
Automotive preservation and documentation audiences
No fictional storytelling is used.
The condition and restoration are shown exactly as they occur.
