The Lincoln Funeral Car
The Lincoln funeral car was built in Alexandria, Virginia, in early 1865 as a private traveling car. One can only speculate as to whether its elaborately decorated interior would have made the economy-minded president uncomfortable, for it was never put to its intended use. The only time Lincoln traveled in the car was when his body was returned to Springfield for burial.
