#OTD 6/20/1973 President Nixon presented General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev with a 1973 dark blue Lincoln Continental with black velour upholstery at Camp David. In "RN: The Memoirs of Richard Nixon'" the President described a somewhat harrowing drive around the camp, perhaps best summed up by his observation, "Diplomacy is not always an easy art."
The Lincoln is on display at the Riga Motor Museum in Riga, Latvia. (Image: WHPO-E1046-04)
