This is the hearse that transported JFK's body from Parkland Hospital to Dallas Love Field Airport on November 22, 1963. It was auctioned at Barrett-Jackson on Jan. 21, 2012
well your opinion doesn't talk as loudly as currency to the person who owned it. But if you're passionate, offer some numbers to the new owner... than donate it to a museum.
This looks like a superior duplex, ambulance, hearse combo. It has jump,seats. Various limo and hearse builders used this chassis from the late 50s. A real iconic clown car as well. Lol.
@@rockettcustoms6266 REALLY? LETS REHASH THE " PONTIAC NAVY AMBULANCE" ..... THEY HAD NO PROOF, IT WAS DEBUNKED... ORIGINAL WAS CRUSHED, THEY TRIED TO PASS PHONY PAPERWORK..... JALOPNIK SOLVED IT....
General Motors should have a museum for this hearse. It should be put up for viewing as was the Lincoln SS100-X car. This should not be in private hands.
The hearse was left inside the airport gates and the funeral home had trouble getting it back. They also had trouble getting paid for the casket used to transport JFK from Dallas.
No one noticed a STYLING FEATURE on this CADDY: the RED TAILLIGHT that lights up RED is aligned with the FIN but down below and integral with the BUMPER is a DOUBLE OVER/UNDER CLEAR FROSTED LENS but when you pump the break and I think at night when you put on the orange front signals but leave headlamps off that CLEAR LENS lights up RED but a bit dimmer so when you hit brakes it BRIGHTENS UP!!! And as it gets darker outside and you tap on headlamps the CLEAR LENS again is probably lit up RED!!!!! But then the ORANGE SIGNALS GO OFF in the front!! By the 1970s the ORANGE SIGNALS and HEADLAMPS stayed on together!!!so when you signled for a turn a BRIGHTER BULB BLINKED!!!!! By the 1990s car makers/trucks have thier FRONT HEADLIGHTS BLAZING in daytime (a waste of power) because of all the LAWSUITS as the soon to be MONEYMAKERS say:I did not see that car coming at me in DAYTIME$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!!!!!!!
@@cudaus1 Look at all the press cars , I am guessing that the press cars were rentals ( Hertz) another guess of mine .The press cars are all 1964 models and nice Chev SS convertible , Comet convertible , 4dr Mercury Monterey etc.
I know this car. A family in Alvarado Texas owned it before it was sold. I seen it in their shop. I bought a 59 Caddy Hearse from them. They got many Hearses from cars to horse drawn buggies.
I haven't been there in years. I don't know if they are still there or not. I have a 1968 Superior Caddy. But it's a rat rod. I have been offered 50,000.00. But, I won't ever sell it.
I wouln't buy shit at B-J. They get 10% from buyer AND seller. They made 16 k on this alone. They ruined the classic car prices with their overpriced garbage.
It was NOT an M&M, it was a Miller Meteor Classic Duplex combination coach. I owned one similar to this one in Nevada Silver and mine had airline style drapes instead of the swag type in this coach.
I've seen the Lincoln at The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. I've seen Air Force One at Wright Patterson Air Force Base that was used by John F. Kennedy.
I have read that it was sitting in a New England junkyard, ready to be scrapped/crushed. Saw pictures of it to. As to weather it was true or not of what was read and saw, is anybody's guess.?
Ambulance never left Andrews Air Force Base JFK body was flown by helicopter to the Navy Hospital. I witness the landing at the Navy Hospital in Bethesda November 22 1963.
Isn't it wounderful to see these extremely rich people buying cars. Thats the way it getting to be your eather rich or your lower lower lower middle class driving Kia Soul like me.😢
Well thought out plan to eliminate him. This is why its known as the conspiracy that won't go away. We all know who cooked up this plot, this cou dea ta, and who got away with it as every detail was specifically, scientifically worked out in every fine way to protect those guilty of all this plot, this conspiracy that won't go away that still haunts this country's past along with its present day circumstances.
“Still waiting...for 56 years”; maybe that should tell you something. You’ve been given the truth but refuse to believe it, why? You have stated you have not been provided with any alternative evidence in 56 years yet there is ample evidence from multiple independent sources that does tell you “the Truth”. Keep waiting along with the rest of the conspiracy nuts.
It says it's a 64 Cadillac hearse and he died in 63 it's a possibility that that it was delivered to the Hearst company in 63 but they would still probably I don't know that something's not right
As I type this the date is 8/12/2021 If you stroll down to any of your local dealerships that sell new cars they have 2022 stickers on the new cars. This has been like this for many years now.
Sales/auctions like these, really sicken me. Pure greed! Seems a person can not have dignity, even in death...just heightens and preys upon their notoriety or tragedy. All the vast majority of the sellers and auction companies care about, is the almighty dollar . Do they care about the families affected by this great American tragedy...or how they feel with stories like this? I don't think so. This is all so tacky and morbid. I wish that John F. Kennedy and his Brother, Robert, are left to rest in peace, but unfortunately, they can not...plus, there is too much controversy in their assassinations...I would not want to own a hearse, no matter who was transported in it. If I had a gazillion dollars, I'd have it junked. Same for JFK's death limo...and to think they had that refurbished and it was used by Johnson and a few Presidents after JFK, well up into the 1970's....so disgusting, especially fat ass Johnson! Maybe he proudly sat in it, because it was like a trophy to him and others. Automobiles like these, should never be put on display...and it is clearly fodder for ghouls and vultures alike! :(
+William Krzemien the Limo was used up to the 1980's, it had been completely redone and updated with a hard roof and armoured, and you couldn't even recognize it from the Kennedy days. Looked like a completely different car. By the way the US Gov, didn't own that car in 1963, it was leased from Ford, for a very small amount of money,
The Professional Car Society had authenticated the provenance on this coach. It's the real one. I'm certain it'll in time go to the Smithsonian. BTW the Pontiac at Andrews that picked up JFK's remains was hidden away and later crushed at the order of Robert Kennedy; there's film-to-video of the crushing. The one advertised as being the JFK Pontiac is from the same batch delivered to the Navy and eventually surplused at the end of their useful lives. Military commercial-chassis ambulances were strippo versions of civilian ones, ordered in groups, and identically spec'd, so it'd be easy to restore the mechanicals, paint it gray, and stencil on the right numbers. It's a very accurate RE-creation, but not the real one.
+Vijayant Govender - The 1964 model year began in late summer early fall in 1963. Therefore, he was killed in November 1963 and transported in a 1964 Cadillac
+john branski I think that Pontiac was in Washington DC, not in Texas. The account I read has that white Hearse bringing Kennedy's body to Air Force One
J Dale it was in a hurse in Dallas where the first casket was bought they had to break off the handles to get it in air force 1 the secret service agents kicked the owner out of his own hearse and drove it to love field and they had the Dallas funeral home bring its most expensive casket cost 6 to 8 thousand a fortune in 1963 then took over 20 years to get the government to pay for it
@@markparker4842 The first casket had a sale price of $3995 (equivalent of $32,904 today) and the government paid the Dallas funeral home director Vernon O'Neal $3160 for it in 1965. In 1966 it was declared surplus and ordered to be destroyed. It was then picked up by the Air Force and sent to the bottom of the Atlantic. medium.com/@Anthony_Bergen/burial-at-sea-the-odyssey-of-jfk-s-original-casket-8c458b758c64
The limousine that Kennedy was killed 8n, is on display at The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn Mi. WHY isn't this car on display there also? This vehicle is a valuable piece of American history. If not at the Henry Ford Museum, it should be at the Smithsonian.
fantasma blanca Cadillac never made hearses or ambulances. they sold an extended wheelbase unfinished chassis to body builders who custom made the body aft of the front seats.
John L. This is so sad for our country. What were they thinking. A president. Was. Killed by person or persons. Unknown. No you make a joke. Out this for money. You will feel the raft of my god for this not funny. 🙏🇺🇸
Funeral home was asking for a check before JFK was in the ground. Asked for middle of the road casket was brought the Elvis special 20k model 900lb they were paid and of course a new sign home that took care of JFK Bobby wanted to strangle the guy. True story of funeral home greed my grandmother had a limo the works for my grandfather in 1977 it was normal visitation fee, chapel fee, like 12k a lot of money in 77 like the price of 3 new Chevy's
Funny, the footage of the event shows a Pontiac Ambulance to Love field, not a white Cadillac Hearse....I trust the integrity of Barrett Jackson, but what gives here?
The Pontiac hearse transported JFK from the airport to Bethesda naval hosp. in DC. Or so the official version goes. In reality, the casket in that hearse was empty. JFK was already at Bethesda.
Yeah that would be really brilliant fucking up a historical auto. And how the fuck would a car have real movie history when its never even been in a movie? Dumb ass.
