I bet when the workers disassembled the car to do the current modifications, they took pieces home for souvenirs. Somewhere in someone’s dad/grandpas stuff are little pieces of that original car
Maybe, unless they were watched by agents who wanted no evidence to escape because the reason why the limousine was fully restored wasn't so much for historical reason, but to destroy "tell tale" evidence that might give explanations about the shooting away! Remember, they killed the president so NOTHING could be left to chance!
@@margaretgullett6341 YES!! Because they changed the whole blood spattered interior and even the windows including the windshield which had a bullet hole below the rear view mirror! The car was also repainted as well. Nothing was left uncleaned or unchecked. Not even brain matter!! They gunned down the fucking president like a wild animal. No evidence was left to chance!!!!
This car was stripped down almost immediately. It had nothing to do with forensic evidence. They simply made any chance of public viewing ( or more so, any critical analyzation of it in the future ) disappear.
The car looked better in the blue color when JFK was president. LBJ didn't want the blue to remain so he changed it to black. That's the first time in any video where I saw the back door was opened. There is a huge lifesize picture of the vehicle in front of the White House just opposite of where the car is parked at the Henry Ford.
It's too bad that they didn't show you all or more of the features the car had. Better pictures of the actual jump seats and how the power seat was raised up so the president could be seen by the public more clearly.
@@edzombie78 , If the car was only a 4 seater, then where do you suppose that Governor John Connally of Texas (who was also seriously shot) and Mrs. Connally were sitting? They were sitting on “jump seats”, fold up seats in front of President and Mrs. Kennedy.
I am not sure which is more ironic. The fact that Kennedy's limo still exists, (somewhat), or the fact that they wasted no time, spared no expense stripping it right down to bare metal, heavily modifying it, and building a whole new interior for several successive presidents to use. Seems to me, after it was no longer needed for forensics, that it would have been melted into a puddle. Incinerated. I just cant understand it.
It’s not even the same car what a sham... license plates different, it had white interior not black with white middle, the lights at the front there was no red lights and the square ones at the bottom were round, the piece between the doors wasn’t there and the side steps were not there when he was shot... and the most important thing missing is the actual real car
You understand that this car was upgraded and changed through out its time in the motor pool? Also, if you look at the pictures of the car in Dallas (post shooting) you’ll see the colors match.
Totally agree, car is a fake. No future presidents including Johnson will ride in a car where a president had his brains splattered everywhere. The US goverment can afford to build another car.FAKE FAKE FAKE!!!
This car was more than "modified". About 3% of this car was carrying president Kennedy.
Yeah, it’s actually hardly worth watching because whatever is original u can see
They need to put this car out for a trash pick up
I bet when the workers disassembled the car to do the current modifications, they took pieces home for souvenirs. Somewhere in someone’s dad/grandpas stuff are little pieces of that original car
And or peices of Kennedy's brain matter too?

They washed out all the blood and brains whilst it was parked at Parkland hospital.
John Kennedy saw the prototype Ford Mustang and loved it.
So basically it's not the car.................
I think the alternator "might" be original. The rest is pretty much fake.
Right 😂😂

Agree, also you can see the secret service or Dallas Police clean it up with a bucket in footage from 11/22. Forensics wasn't of any priority.
Traffic began flowing minutes after the event on Elm Street.

I seriously doubt there’s anything original about that car
It's not the car then
The company Hess and Eisenhart who helped rebuild JFK limo is going out business. What history they have on working past presidential limos
So they removed everything that was historically relevant
What a stupid question if the interior was original to the car
Almost as stupid as all the comments here saying “this isn’t the actual car from Dallas”
Totally agree...
The viewer may not know that. But cheers for the slag.
Was that a pun when he asked if the doors made "a better entry and exit point"?
Arlen Specter would be so proud
No.

the rear seat lift feature was removed after Dallas, No sense hitting your head on a fixed roof.
The whole back of the car is different, President Kennedy had steps for the SS to stand on, which they were chased from, at the Dallas, Love airport
Changed the color, too! It was Kennedy Blue.
Hey wait a minute, it was a 4 seater why 6
It was a 6 seater it had fold up seats
Was definitely 4 seater and 4 people in it....not 6 seats with 6 people as we know it today.

You know I really wanted to buy this car, but I don't think I have a shot
I am not sure which is more ironic.

I just cant understand it.
Two for one , Henry Ford Museum and Greenwich Village , just steps from one another. Maybe 7 miles west of Detroit.
I thought everything was tucked away in a vault and in locked down?
The blood stains seats had his blood on it and pieces of brain and skull in it. It was awful macabre and sad. They killed him
why is there an armrest in the back seat but not in the assassination photos?
I guess that the arm rest must have be added after assassination
@@MikeFisher67 No! The armrest had a bottom hinge point that made it moveable to tuck into the backrest. Typical of many cars of that period!
Why the fuck did they put a roof on it? It looks like a completely new car with a roof.
lieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Complete coverup. Useless info

It actually isn’t though
