Translating the WKT to PROJ4 is tricky with non-meter projections,
because sometimes different vendors put their offsets in different
units. Here's my guess for yours:
+proj=lcc +lat_1=33 +lat_2=45 +lat_0=33 +lon_0=-89.5 +x_0=914400
+to_meter=0.3048006096012192 +ellps=clrk66 +datum=NAD27
PROJCS["Clarke_1866_Lambert_Conformal_Conic",
