1932 Lincoln KB Limo at AACA Southeastern Spring National

The 1932 Lincoln KB V-12 Berlin was a marvel of its time — hand-built by the craftsmen of the Judkins Company. Its V-12 engine powered one of the most luxurious and commanding chassis ever put on American roads. This exact vehicle was delivered to Baron Antonio in Chicago on December 31, 1931, directly from Lincoln Motor Company, specially ordered to his exact specifications.

This limousine wasn't just built for comfort — it was customized for strategy, security, and show. In the 1980s, Uncle Tony had it installed inside his living room in Nashua, New Hampshire, where it was repurposed as his personal dining space — wine and dinner with old friends, served by his personal butler, all while surrounded by loaded weapons stashed in door pockets and Tommy machine guns under the table.

The Story

The Story – From Sicily
to Chicago

Baron Antonio's story begins in Italy, where his family was ambushed and murdered when he was just eight years old. He was sent to the United States under protection from Don Vito, the Godfather of Sicily, fearing that those who slaughtered his family would come to finish the job.

After arriving at Ellis Island, the boy — now called "Tony" for safety — found himself in the back alleys of Little Italy, New York, learning the ropes alongside none other than Al Capone. Their paths would diverge and cross again when both men settled in Chicago, where they resumed their relationship — riding and conducting business from the back seat of this very Lincoln limousine.
