I heard his son was 17 years old at the time, but you're right, it was his very own son. Pretty cool I think.
As for the LS, I'm gonna take a stab in the dark. Was it that Burgundy color?

The first production Lexus ever to hit American soil is a Diamond White Pearl ES250 w/Tan interior housed at the Toyota Vintage Museum here in SoCal. Shortly after, the LS400 came off the ship. That too is also stored at the Toyota Vintage Museum.

Looks like you're 2 for 2 on questions I stumped you with.
