JFK Remembered at Henry Ford Museum 

Why wouldnt the car be displayed the way people remember it ....without the roof?

The decision to clean, perform modifications on and keep in service critical piece of evidence speaks volumes about the manner in which the investigation into the assassination of President Kennedy was handled.

When JFK used it, it was not black, but midnight blue.

Can never forget that day and tragedy!

I will always Remember that tragic day on November 22nd 1963, I was 6 yrs old and I still Remember him & his wife Mrs Jackie Kennedy Riding in that limo then tragedy struck & our 35th president was cut down by the assassens bullets, it will be forever etched in my mind that tragic day in 1963, R.I.P. PRESIDENT JOHN F KENNEDY YOU ARE & ALWAYS WILL BE SORLY MISSED GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL AMEN 🙏🙌❤

How can they say it was HIS car when in fact HIS car was gutted and stripped down to bare metal and rebuilt.

President Kennedy would be 105 if he was still with us. The most tragic 💔 thing about tragedies is that with a little planning, most tragedies are preventable.

It isn't even the same car any more

Also interesting is that they have the chair that Abraham Lincoln was siting in at Ford's Theatre when he was killed by John Wilkes Booth when he was watching Our American Cousin.

I remember that same day November 22nd 1963 1 hour of the day he was shot😞

Informative and inspiring presentation 😎🙏🏻

The original license was “GG300”. The grille was changed. The red lights were originally mounted in the bumper.

Why did they take away the original wheel covers and use these instead?

Speaking of the machine itself, you can imagine Mercedes being envious of the prominence and stature this Limo put forth in the early 60’s, before the assassination, even. Not to be outdone by the Americans, they soon developed and created the 600 Pullman with their first big V8 as an answer to this and help bolster their image.

Its great for people to commemorate the historical object

Crime scene..cleaned ASAP windshield with the bullit hole changed ASAP..smh

The bumpers are not the same that the video shows. In fact, the hubcaps are different and I'm sure if I study more, I will see other differences. There's a die-cast available and they match the video seen here, but not the car in the museum. Anyone know why?

❤...😢

The car looks different. Lots of things are not the same.

1961 Lincoln Continental Presidential Limousine, Steel Plate Floor Added during "Quick Fix," 1964. After President John F. Kennedy's assassination on November 22, 1963, the Hess & Eisenhardt Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, rebuilt the 1961 Lincoln Continental Presidential Limousine into an armored car. The floor was reinforced with 1/8-inch thick steel plate to protect against blasts from grenades or mines. Other portions of the car were armored with 3/8-inch thick titanium plate. *Bullet hole in floor of JFK limo, found during modifications in Dec 1963, & hushed up (see photo).* *Notice that the hole is not round, it has been made by the remnant slug after ricocheting off the signal arm.* *The hole might today be found in the floor, under the new reinforcing plate.* The copper full metal jacket broke in two as usual during the ricochet because it is made in two sections, & these were found in the limo (CE567 CE569).

4:19 Oh yeah! On that *"somber"* occasion let's have the girls pose with the JFK death car like Vanna White does.

The American Media & The 2nd Assassination Of President John F. Kennedy' is a great documentary on the subject of the assassination.

Amazing

Oswald shot-1. JFK at distance one limo length past the signals. Ricochets off western side of western signal arm guy rod. Hull found at SN. Oswald shot-1. Oswald fired at T137 which is say Z112, slug lands at T138 ie Z113, noise arrives at T139 ie Z114. Max Holland says shot-1 was at time Z107-8. Dale Myers says that shot-1 was at i think T150 or some silly such late number. No it was at T138. Oswald shot-1. A spray of fine lead hits the back of JFK's head (XRays). *Remnant slug makes non-round hole in limo floor (photo), & probly hits driveshaft & road (& aint found).* The FMJ broke in 2 as is usual (CE567 CE569 found in limo). Oswald shot-2. JFK at time & distance Z218 (the magic bullet)(found). Hull found at SN.

JFK was before my time but i know the story and its a very sad one even to those of us in the uk and the car even in this video there is something a little haunting about it but we learnt so much as a result and I hope we never ever have another tradgedy like this whether its in the us or anywhere else. But for comedy bbc's red dwarf did a great of giving it light heart comedy touch.

i just don't think its the same car there just no way

yeah, the gutted, rebuilt, cleansed crime seen evidence car. almost like the original. . . sans blood, bullet holes, etc.

Siamo sicuri che è la stessa? Questa ha i fari anteriori interni rossi.

The emergency brake? I was told it was a disc brake. Connally saw the driver push a button (brake release?) then the car accelerated. Could that brake have been used to help the car stop for JFK’s head shot? Any Continental car buffs know?

Was it a 1961 or 1963? This video says 1961? I always thought it was a 1963!

The car is named after a assinatated president.

Blows my mind how cold gov was to immediately after jfk was shot they cleaned evidence of blood an bullets had it restored an put back in service. People don't have a clue how cold power an money can be. Just sickening.

ON MY TIME LINE THERE WERE 4 IN THE CAR A 4 SEATER IM NOT FROM HERE

I remeber that day 11/22/63 I were in first grade just got back from lunch about 1:15 and our teacher Ms. Wright was crying we being kids we thought she didnt like her lunch then she told the class, and in closing I think the limo on display should have the convertible top down that's how it was when this EVIL took PLACE- I BELIVE IT WOULD LOOK MORE SUR REAL ON THE IT ACTUALLY HAPPEN.

They should've never stripped that car after what happened. Destroying evidence and history

I would like to take it apart with today’s modern forensics and see if clues can still be found and or if it’s actually truly the car and not switched!! I’m sure there’s some traces if really the car. 🥺

Did they display the windshield with the bullet hole they swapped out, it's still evidence for an unsolved murder- if it was destroyed that was aiding and abetting murder.

Hislimowastrulybeautifalandclassy

They wiped it clean they should of left it

Thats not the car.

It's not the original car

The richest country in the world had to recommission this car, because the thought of maybe building a new one never occurred 🤔

Other than that Jackie !!! How Did you Like DALLAS 🔫

Wow so much bull, and ways to hide it.

Thank you very much. Henry Ford Museum President Kennedy was my last incarnation and I would like to sit in the seat that he sat on.

This is why they use Cadillacs now.

Not even the same damn car. Kennedy rode in a 61. That's a 62, can easily tell by the front end. Besides alot of other presidents rode in that limo before it was decomissioned. I'd hardly call that the Kennedy car. If that was a 1961 Continental in midnight blue, with the open top and the bullet hole in the front glass, with the GG-300 plates still on, that would be the real Kennedy car.

You know I really wanted to buy this car, but I don't think I have a shot

Oswald did it.

My opinion is let's look for a spiritual medium and speak with the spirit of Oswald to find the true story anything is possible
