Interested conversion; Not really for Livery service but I believe often used for a House car at some hotels. (Interesting note on the Lincoln convertible driven by Lloyd Bridges in the episode. It actually belonged to Lucille Ball who owned Desilu studios and the word I heard is Lloyd totaled it during filming.)
Sweet car. :D AHA was great. Those stretches at the rear doors and C pillar (I've heard some people call them a "double-chop limo") are subtle and very cool.
It was my understanding that 100 were built by Hotton, 85 Fords and 15 Mercurys. The 65 prototype had the standard Galaxie doors with a 18 inch or so stretch between them. Production models had the extended back doors like this one. Much easier to get in and out!

BTW, for AHA on film, "The Man Who Fell To Earth" uses extensively a Lincoln Continental limo. Same style of stretching job.

Ford themselves made a handful of LTD limos themselves, didn't they? :)
