Lincoln Dash Trim kits transform the interior of your car the way a new paint job transforms the exterior. There's no point in spending hundreds of dollars buffing up your car's exterior without paying some attention to what's inside. After all, the inside of the car is what you see when you're driving. The Lincoln dash kit is right there in front of you, mile after mile.

For people used to modifying their cars, installing Lincoln Dash Trim Kits is the easiest thing they'll ever do with their car.  Dash kit installation is strictly do-it-yourself. All you need is a little glue and a little time. (For some molded kits with double-sided tape backing, you don't even need the glue.)

The first, crucial step to installing Lincoln Dash Trim Kits is to heat the car's interior. A temperature of 72° Fahrenheit is your goal any colder and the adhesive won't work properly. As your car warms, start thoroughly cleaning the existing dash. This is no joke. You're not just expected to dust off the dash, you've got to dig in and give it some elbow grease. Use rubbing alcohol to remove all traces of any vinyl cleaner you might have used in the past. Glue and tape just don't like to stick to dirt.

Lincoln car has a long history of providing official state limousines for the U.S. President. The first car specially built for Presidential use was the 1939 Lincoln V12 convertible called the "Sunshine Special" used by Franklin D. Roosevelt. It remained in use until 1948.

A 1950 Lincoln Cosmopolitan called the "Bubble Top" was used by Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy and once by Johnson. It was retired in 1965.

The Lincoln limousine made famous in Dallas was a 1961 Lincoln Continental convertible, custom built by Hess and Eisenhart of Cincinnati, and known as the SS-100-X. The Secret Service had the car fitted with a 1962 grill for aesthetic reasons. It was in use from 1961 to 1977, having undergone extensive alterations which made it an armor-plated sedan after Kennedy's assassination. A 1969 Lincoln was used by Nixon and a 1972 Lincoln used by Presidents Ford, Carter, Reagan and Bush. A 1989 Lincoln was the last Presidential Lincoln as of 2004.
