I have spent a good amount of time at the Henry Ford research room and also in development of the Discovery Channel program INSIDE THE TARGET CAR. My other video that I helped develop is the SPEED Channel documentary on the car, at my Youtube site.
The JFK limo SS-100-X was rebuilt after the assassination. The only thing about this car that is the same is the frame. It was conveniently spirited out of DC so it could not be used for the Warren Commission reenactment.
Leipold100 above, the car ws rebuilt as a 1964 model for LBJ hence the difference noted. I believe it was delivered as a 61 and modified to a 62 at the time of the assassination.
They also have the restored bus on which Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat which so energized the Civil Rights Movement. Terrific Museum, the building is an exact copy of Independence Hall, right down to its flaws.
I don't believe this is the same lime as JFK was riding in, unless it undertook a complete transformation. The one on display had a whole new configuration of the front bumper, all different rims. This may be the identical one that was bulit for Jackie Kennedy.
See those handles on the trunk?? Why was nobody there. They were called off, and confused as well. ""Hey why am I being called off the limo?????? wassup with that?
Why remodel the limo when,at that time USA spend billions in arms.LBJ could have issues a new limo to reshape his political image.Indeed, LBJ did kill JFK.
reopen the case !!! We don't need to carry this warren reports lies.
i for one have never been able to get mu head around the fact that johnson the vp to kennedy who was riding behind the president when he was shot ,could when he was waiting on his car to go on trip they pull up with the x-100 at that time if i was johnson i would have had to take a 0 how could you sit and ride in the very spot where kennedy was sittin when he got killed ? very hard hearted and cold blooded is putting it mildly !
America really is a sick nation. Makes me wish I wasnt born here in the first place if this is what we do to our great leaders. It had to have been an inside job, I mean it takes some skill to snipe someone let alone from a moving vehicle.
@crashroader 1) Move out if you don't like America. 2) "We" didn't do it to our leaders, one (or debatebly more, but for argument's sake I'll say one) person did. 3) No shit... Lee Harvey Oswald was a highly trained shooter, and since he was employed by the military, it technically was an inside job even if you don't believe in the conspiracies about a 2nd gunman.
@waldomademedoit What the hell are you saying we dont do it to our leaders?!!! Have you fucking forgot about Good old Abe lincoln?! He was shot, JFK was shot and other enlightened people were shot. America is nuts and I would leave If I had the funds to secure a life elsewhere but im not that much of an asshole to the point at which I am a millionaire. Dont even get on my case for my opinion cause Ive worked for the government not once but twice.
@zeroceiling of course if it's something like a building you cannot "retire it" but out of respect for Kennedy they could have done that with the car.
in the assination video the windows were down i mean the chances were moderate that there was a assisan waiting They should have covered the car with bullet proof
@ItsTotallySqueaks No...Kennedy did, and it was the best thing in the world for his reputation....He was a thief, liar, scammer, who came from a family of gangsters and criminals. Now he is a hero instead of a bum.
If you look closely at the video when JFK sat in that car, you will find out that the assassination car and the car at the museum have two different pairs of headlights in the front. The real one had two pairs of white headlights and one pair of red lights in the front bumper. Look at the car in the museum! Looks quite different, doesn't it?
The car should have been automatically impounded and destroyed. It brings back too many painful memories. What is even more disgusting is that future presidents actually used this car. It is disrespectful to the memory of JFK.
@SnickleFritz79 I don't know if I agree that it should have been impounded/destroyed??? Definately held as 'evidence' rather than being cleaned as fast as it was & the windshield replaced though. I understand what your saying but you can't just 'not use a car' because a president died in it, it would be the same as not using rooms in the white house because a few presidents have died in there too. Investigate then revamp the car, & just say it's a new car, who's gonna know the difference?
@babycakes1402 Disagree. I think you can definitely "not use a car" again after a beloved President has literally had his head blown off in it. You can always get another car, but you can't bring a father and husband back from the dead. I don't see why the car could not have been inspected as a crime scene, cleaned, and then preserved as a museum piece right from the start. It's not the same as not using WH rooms because Presidents have died in them. This man was assassinated in this car.
@Cathie8791 and dying of a heart attack is a life happens moment. You are right that Cathie. I can't believe I am reading people saying that this is being used post-kennedy. I can't get how it wouldn't bug people too much to use this limo again.
FYI: -it is believed that JFK was under medication that effected his better judgment, --whereby certain nefarious SS-agents removed the bullet-deflecting Plastic-top section which was supposed to be there to protect the Pres. from being shot, yet allow the public to clearly see the Kennedy's, --thus also endangering the 1st-Lady! Additionally, the SS-agents were ordered off the rear-bumper stands, so as to assure a clear shot at JFK (Oswald was NOT among the assassins!)...
I think it is interesting to note that the jump seat where Connally sat is down and to the left of the rear seat where Kennedy was seated. Wonder if Oliver Stone ever made a visit to this car? Highly doubtful.
Frightwolf, not everything should be sentimentalized, yes. But the reason people identify so strongly with JFK is because he was a president that people could identify with and see change being made. He's also the only president in the 20th century that was assassinated (and in front of thousands, at that). If you have such a problem with the car, why are you even on this page? Your comments fall on deaf ears and mean nothing to those of us who truly respected JFK.
So if someone climbed over the gate and sat in the backseat, what would they do to you? And are there any blood marks or anything inside the car that shows someone bleeding in it?
There is a problem with the color photos of the limo in the Washington DC garage. The rear seat shows a RED blood smear.
That is a huge oxidation problem.
In this universe, over the time from the Elm St conspiracy murder to the garage pictures, the limo blood can not still be RED. But it is. A RED LIE is smeared over previous dried DARK blood stains on the seat.
There were no dark seat stains before Dallas. Most blood was wiped off in Dallas.
Everybody who has studied this knows that JFK was struck from both the rear and also at an angle from the front. The grassy knoll shot wasn't just fiction from so many witnesses. At least two snipers were there in Dealy Plaza. LHO may have been one of them but he had some help.
The car should have automatically been retired on November 22nd, 1963. The fact that Johnson had the stains washed out and cntinued to use it show what kind of lowdown snake he really was. The fact that Presidents Johnson/Ford/Carter continued to use it is an abomination and says a lot about their character, too. I'm sure Jackie thought very little of them for dishonoring her late husband that way, and I wouldn't be surprised if she snubbed them. She had every right to do so, anyway.
JumpStreet - I find it interesting how far some people sentimentalize inanimate OBJECTS, ascribing characteristics to them because of an event or tragedy. It borders on silliness. Where does it stop? Shall we shut down Elm street? How about Dealy Plaza? Hell, let's shut down Dallas! In fact, any TV that showed the assassination should be destroyed...lest you upset JumpStreet.
@FrightwoIf People here don't seem to be caring about an object. it is respecting that that object carried a human being's life that they loved and respected (and as I keep saying I am completely a younger generation than this guy's main fan base so I can't imagine caring about it because of "understanding the 60s" I just think imagine what it would be like to live in a world where people were so anti-violent (as far as I can understand) that it was considered violent to be violent
@JumpStreet1983 Lyndon Johnson either knew the assassination was going to take place, or he even participated in it. Too many variables point in that direction. If that is the case, I hope he is begging for ice cubes........
@JumpStreet1983 dude, its just a car, and secondly, have you seen JFK's grave? them man have the grave of a fuckin king. Its huge and it takes up a large part of Arlington where he is buried among men who died before their time overseas in defense of this country.
Trust me bro, he has been honored.
to throw a bitch fit over the fact that a perfectly fine car was cleaned up and still used is just stupid. Humvees in iraq that had soldiers die in them are used for as long as they are serviceable.
@Alexn1067 No one here threw a bitch fit. You just assumed that because I don't agree with your opinion. Accept the fact that not everyone sees things like you do. Yes, it's just a car. But if I were a president, I wouldn't want to sit in something that could possibly become my tomb like it did my predecessor. That's just my way of thinking, but I respect your opinion.
@GeneDexter ... Yes, the car was used by Ford and Carter as well as Johnson and Nixon before them. The Secret Service makes the decisions about the vehicles to be placed in service for the president. The Secret Service ordered a total renovation of the car then placed back in the White House motor pool before it was retired.
The car was actually used for some time after the assassination. The bullet holes were patched, and of course it's a Ford, so it would have ran forever!
This car was a crime scene but they screwed up and starting cleaning it the moment it got to the hospital. Probably to cover up so people wouldn't know the truth. The CIA didn't want to get caught
sdaven, sorry that you missed the news but they did an autopsy on JFK that confirmed he was shot from the back. The recovered bullet was matched to Oswalds gun that was found on the floor Oswald was last seen at.
So simple yet some people refuse to believe that a disturbed ex Marine could kill the leader of the free world.
as a medical pathologist let me tell you that the "autopsy" performed on the leader of the free world was so incompetent and incomplete that congress should have ordered immediately to have the late president exhumed and a proper one performed by proper forensic pathologists.
Oswald was last scene as late as 12:25 by M. Arnold on the SECOND floor on the book depository.
but hey, don't take my word for it. listen to the government. politicians never lie, right?
Dr. Joe.-M. Arnold? Do you mean Carolyn Arnold? Nice research. Carolyn Arnold, in a signed statement to the FBI in 1964, never mentions Oswald on the 2 flloor. She suddenly recalls seeing Oswald on the second floor.....15 years later when she tells the Dallas Morning News. I'd love to hear her (or your) explanation for this. Oswalds alibi was that he was eatting lunch on the FIRST floor by the way.
JFK's autopsy was incomplete, at the Kennedy families request. But the x rays, photos and inspection of JFK all prove that JFK was hit by 2 shots, from behind, by bullets from Oswalds rifle.
Uhh maybe they felt it uncivilized to leave the car uncleaned sitting out there in the hospital ER room recieving area with all those people standing out there.
@auerstadt06 You don't clean a crime scene before it has been examined. If someone was to come and kill someone and blood was splattered all of the wall, they would not clean that until it was investigated.
@sdavenport1981 CSI was not on television in 1963. The job of the secret service was to protect the president, not to solve crimes. The crime scene was Dealey plaza anyway.
@sdavenport1981 They did the same exact thing with 911. They even bragged about how much debris was cleared out in the first 24 hours. Which was some 140 truck loads
@sdavenport1981 There was a rather token attempt to clean up the gore from the limousine while it was still parked outside Parkland Hospital in Dallas. Nonetheless, the car was closely examined and two large bullet fragments were recovered from the floor. They were large enough to make a definitive ballistic link to Oswald's rifle. Damage to the car from the shooting was documented and photographed. After that, it was no longer a "crime scene." No crime scene remains a crimes scene forever.
vangard213 thats BS. Parts of the WTF is still in storrage. I promis you, if Obama is shot dead tomorrow, the carhe was in, the suit he had on, the rifle that was used.. All will be saved (and most likely sold on e-bay).
Now days a presidential limo would have been melted down and made into quarters or something and a fleet of new limo's would be made,Shows the difference between back then and today.
They immediately had the windshield replaced because there was a bullet hole in it. This is fact, there are photos and eyewitnesses. Our country will never recover from this incident in our lifetime. What has happened in this country since is a disgrace.
The way to determine authenticity is to run the car's serial number at Ford. I wonder if there's a file at CARFAX? (low miles, slightly used, only one assassination...)
how is that type of car prepared for a permanent in regards to the engine-can the car s engine ever actually run again-is the engine in the car or was it dismantled? just wondering-nice video btw
Yes, I saw Obama as a youth on a CIA farm in Hawaii, being brainwashed and taught to recite the Constitution at age 7 so he would excel and have the appearance of a viable candidate for President. I have told no one of this until your brilliant post, stubbyguy. But know the world can know: The globalists chose a black man whose middle name is Hussein as the likely individual to be made President, and scored big time. There is a microchip in "Bo" so they can listen in too!
only one other person in the world ever touched that car and on the same day and looked out that window of The Texas School Depository building. I did it on 11-22-93
It was compltely stripped, and reconstructed after the Assassination so they could save money, and reuse it for other Presidents. this car went on to serve Presidents, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, and Carter, before it was decommissioned, and placed in the museum.
THANKS for posting-am not convinced that its the original--i have read it was cut up and destroyed--because of bullet holes in windscreen and blood particles etc--the car dissapeared and was never forensically checked over.and suddenly its there-after so many years-
All the original interior was replaced.all glass replaced with bullet proof glass,different front end and grill,tires, repainted from blue to black,different engine. plus two tons of armor plating.just how much of the car was in Dallas in 1963?
The car had titanium plating installed, permanent bullet-proof roof, etc. after the assassination. It's not a stretch (no pun intended) to say it's really not the same car as it was in 1963. Johnson (apparently) ordered the blood washed out of it, lest it become a tourist attraction, but the forensic evidence had been heavily documented by then.
You thought Johnson was evil, wait till you see the coming civil war in the USA in the next year. Obama is the chosen one to lead us into defeat at the hands of the Globalists. We will lose even more of our civil rights and our country's sovereignty is being threaten by selfish evil men whom seek to initiate the New World Order as predicted to come in the last days.
Kennedy was assassinated because he wanted the Government to be the issuer of the American Currency, instead of the Privately owned "Federal" Reserve, so what he did was sign Executive Order 11110, which gave the Government the power to print money instead, and back it by Silver, rather than AIR, 5 months later, JFK was killed, and LBJ put the power back into the Federal Reserve, the Executive Order was never amended, a Congressman winked at LBJ on the day JFK was killed.....
im surprised they used the car after the asassination of presidetn kennedy either.. like you said.. they should clean it up .. but not reuse it.. it is a part of history.. a beloved president died in that car.. no other president used the presidential box in ford's theater after lincolns assassination.. why reuse the car. i find that sorta disrespectful.. R.I.P. Mr. President
Perhaps had they not rebuilt/re-used it, evidence could be found that wouldnt look so good.NEVER has a president been assisanated and his chair/car/suit/etc., been rebuilt and/or reused.
I think Nixon was more afraid of the Kennedys than hated them. You have to remember, Nixon and President Kennedy came to Congress in 1946 -the same year. They would go to conferences on the same train and flip for who got the upper and lower bunk. That is not really hating someone. Later he knew they were competitors, but hate is a strong word. He knew they were good competitors and Nixon didn't like competitors.
why why why did they renovate it ,,,,, they should of reserved it with the blood stains and everything ,,, and they should of left the top off ,, then you can see where the bullet holes are and everytign

Shall we shut down Elm street? How about Dealy Plaza? Hell, let's shut down Dallas! In fact, any TV that showed the assassination should be destroyed...lest you upset JumpStreet.

@FrightwoIf People here don't seem to be caring about an object. it is respecting that that object carried a human being's life that they loved and respected (and as I keep saying I am completely a younger generation than this guy's main fan base so I can't imagine caring about it because of "understanding the 60s" I just think imagine what it would be like to live in a world where people were so anti-violent (as far as I can understand) that it was considered violent to be violent

@AnneLiesveld - I always marvel at how an object
can take on such relevance in the lives of certain
people. For example, the tree in the movie Shawshank
Redemption apparently had become a tourist attraction.
And NOTHING even really happened there! JFKs car?
Yeah, I get it. Still..why not put all of Elm Street in the
museum too? The actual asphalt! And how about the
dirt under it? I mean, historically why is the car MORE
important? It's just a THING too!

@JumpStreet1983 Lyndon Johnson either knew the assassination was going to take place, or he even participated in it. Too many variables point in that direction. If that is the case, I hope he is begging for ice cubes........

@JumpStreet1983 dude, its just a car, and secondly, have you seen JFK's grave? them man have the grave of a fuckin king. Its huge and it takes up a large part of Arlington where he is buried among men who died before their time overseas in defense of this country.
Trust me bro, he has been honored.
to throw a bitch fit over the fact that a perfectly fine car was cleaned up and still used is just stupid. Humvees in iraq that had soldiers die in them are used for as long as they are serviceable.

@Alexn1067 No one here threw a bitch fit. You just assumed that because I don't agree with your opinion. Accept the fact that not everyone sees things like you do. Yes, it's just a car. But if I were a president, I wouldn't want to sit in something that could possibly become my tomb like it did my predecessor. That's just my way of thinking, but I respect your opinion.

@GeneDexter ... Yes, the car was used by Ford and Carter as well as Johnson and Nixon before them. The Secret Service makes the decisions about the vehicles to be placed in service for the president. The Secret Service ordered a total renovation of the car then placed back in the White House motor pool before it was retired.

sdavenport1981 2 years ago 39
sdaven, sorry that you missed the news but they did an autopsy on JFK that confirmed he was shot from the back. The recovered bullet was matched to Oswalds gun that was found on the floor Oswald was last seen at.
So simple yet some people refuse to believe that a disturbed ex Marine could kill the leader of the free world.
dreadnaught2 2 years ago
as a medical pathologist let me tell you that the "autopsy" performed on the leader of the free world was so incompetent and incomplete that congress should have ordered immediately to have the late president exhumed and a proper one performed by proper forensic pathologists.
Oswald was last scene as late as 12:25 by M. Arnold on the SECOND floor on the book depository.
but hey, don't take my word for it. listen to the government. politicians never lie, right?

joeylodes 2 years ago
Dr. Joe.-M. Arnold? Do you mean Carolyn Arnold? Nice research. Carolyn Arnold, in a signed statement to the FBI in 1964, never mentions Oswald on the 2 flloor. She suddenly recalls seeing Oswald on the second floor.....15 years later when she tells the Dallas Morning News. I'd love to hear her (or your) explanation for this. Oswalds alibi was that he was eatting lunch on the FIRST floor by the way.
dreadnaught2 2 years ago
thanks for the correction ... guess i'm too busy doing proper pathology work ;)
joeylodes 2 years ago
JFK's autopsy was incomplete, at the Kennedy families request. But the x rays, photos and inspection of JFK all prove that JFK was hit by 2 shots, from behind, by bullets from Oswalds rifle.

@sdavenport1981 CSI was not on television in 1963. The job of the secret service was to protect the president, not to solve crimes. The crime scene was Dealey plaza anyway.

DGar1990 1 year ago
@sdavenport1981 There was a rather token attempt to clean up the gore from the limousine while it was still parked outside Parkland Hospital in Dallas. Nonetheless, the car was closely examined and two large bullet fragments were recovered from the floor. They were large enough to make a definitive ballistic link to Oswald's rifle. Damage to the car from the shooting was documented and photographed. After that, it was no longer a "crime scene." No crime scene remains a crimes scene forever.

Yes, I saw Obama as a youth on a CIA farm in Hawaii, being brainwashed and taught to recite the Constitution at age 7 so he would excel and have the appearance of a viable candidate for President. I have told no one of this until your brilliant post, stubbyguy. But know the world can know: The globalists chose a black man whose middle name is Hussein as the likely individual to be made President, and scored big time. There is a microchip in "Bo" so they can listen in too!

The car had titanium plating installed, permanent bullet-proof roof, etc. after the assassination. It's not a stretch (no pun intended) to say it's really not the same car as it was in 1963. Johnson (apparently) ordered the blood washed out of it, lest it become a tourist attraction, but the forensic evidence had been heavily documented by then.

Kennedy was assassinated because he wanted the Government to be the issuer of the American Currency, instead of the Privately owned "Federal" Reserve, so what he did was sign Executive Order 11110, which gave the Government the power to print money instead, and back it by Silver, rather than AIR, 5 months later, JFK was killed, and LBJ put the power back into the Federal Reserve, the Executive Order was never amended, a Congressman winked at LBJ on the day JFK was killed.....

I think Nixon was more afraid of the Kennedys than hated them. You have to remember, Nixon and President Kennedy came to Congress in 1946 -the same year. They would go to conferences on the same train and flip for who got the upper and lower bunk. That is not really hating someone. Later he knew they were competitors, but hate is a strong word. He knew they were good competitors and Nixon didn't like competitors.
