The Presidential Lincoln President John F. Kennedy was riding in when he was assassinated served several presidents that followed. Upon hearing this, many people are stunned.
his subject has been blogged here before, but CBS News.com has a new story on the limousine.
It begins with:
(CBS News) One of the most historic pieces of evidence from the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated 50 years ago was the limousine he was riding in. What happened to it after the assassination is yet another incredible chapter in the story.
The tragic Lincoln limousine is now at the end of the road in the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Mich.Before being put back into use, it had been extensively modified with a hard roof, armor, bullet-proof tires and other modifications. It was finally retired from service during the presidency of Jimmy Carter.
Presidents Nixon and Ford rode in it as did Lyndon Johnson, who was two cars behind Kennedy that day in Dallas.
I saw the limousine in 1972 at the Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles during President Nixon's re-election campaign.
