a '61 lincoln continental limousine gg 300 and dubbed "x-100" by us secret service. after the kennedy assassination, the car was completly rebodied by ford and hess & eisenhardt. This changes cost more than $500,000. The new x-100 was finished in may 1964, it was put back into service and was used by johnson, nixon, ford and carter before being retired in 1977 In 1977, the odometer showed more than 100,000 mls. ford motor company donated the car to henry ford museum & greenfield village in dearborn, michigan. there are several presidential parade vehicles : the 1939 Lincoln V12 convertible (the "sunshine special") used by roosevelt, the 1950 lincoln cosmopolitan (the "bubble top") used by truman and eisenhower, and the 1972 lincoln used by ford, carter, reagan and bush. The 1972 vehicle is the last presidential parade vehicle that will be given to any museum. The Secret Service will destroy all future presidential vehicles in test so that the complex electronic and security devices will remain confidential.

1) Both acted irresponsibly.  \n2) Kennedy left a dead Mary Jo Kopechne, Cheney administered care to Harry Whittington immediately.   \n3) Kennedy was charged with a crime (leaving the scene), Cheney wasn't charged because both parties held some responsibility in the matter.  \n4) The machine Kennedy used in his accident was an automobile... for which he was unlicensed to operate.  The machine Cheney used in his accident was a shotgun... which he was licenced for (although he didn't have a quail stamp).\n5) Mary Jo Kopechne is dead, Harry Whittington is alive.\n\nGame goes to Cheney. But I'd choose neither if that was an option!  Peace

Not sure. There is a company in that area of the  world called Robur that makes a vehicle that is similar looking and used for hearse construction, among other uses. Or could be an older Mercedes commercial chassis. Sorry I couldn't be of more help

In my opinion the Democrats of JFK's day were more moderate and the center has shifted over the years. I could go on all day  about this but just some highlights of my view on this.  In the 50s and 60s democrats like JFK went to church and believed more in family values. Today they have shifted more to freedom choice to do what you want and Republicans have moved out of their elitist position and more toward the center. Far right and far left have become more radical and opposed. Immigrants in those day came to America in search of democracy and generally gravitated to the Democratic party because they believed that other parties did not stand for democracy. Although that's not true. Today those that have educated themselves, I believe gravitate to the values of the republican party. Thus the Republicans have become the new democrats. JFK was a moderate, strong on defense issues and family values despite his indiscretions. As Attorney General Robert Kennedy went after crime aggressively. Republicans were more about money and power. Things have changed.

Oswald could not have been the only one that shot Kennedy. Police recovered a 1940's model Manlicher Carcano bolt action rifle from the sixth floor of the TSBD building. In theory, this was the rifle Oswald was purported to have used. In reality, the weapon was barely capable of accuracy at 5o yards, let alone having 3 accurate shots fired from it in less than six seconds. The head shot Kennedy received caused his head to move backwards and to his left. The whole back of his skull was blown out. Close study of the Zapruder film shows this in graphic detail. As for 9/11...........well, Hitler burned the Reichstag in order to implement his plan. Nothing is impossible for desperate leaders

I think he died in a car wreck a couple years ago. I'm not sure about it but it seems to me that's what I heard.

JFK stands for John Fitzgerald Kennedy.\n\nJFK was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald but there is significant controversy about if Oswald was the only killer.

Actually the way this event was described and detailed by the Warren Commission makes me and a number of other reject the findings. I remain conviced it was nearly impossible to have killed Kennedy using that vantage point and that rifle. \n\nFirst off its a bolt action rifle with a box magazone equipped with a scope that had poor eye relief.  Getting off the number of shots Oswald would have been a one in 10,000 chance. \nThe car is moving away accellerating on a curve reaching speads of 35 mph and remember, the Zapruder film shows kennedy being hit forward, not the rear. \n\nOne Marine sniper with 45 ocnfirmed kills from Vietnam said even he could not have managed that kill from that position using that rifle and scope. \n\nOur government painted us a picture.

I haven't really kept up on the 06 lincolns, but I will say this, when that car was introduced, it set records. It was the first truly beautiful, state of the art, powerful, prestigous lincoln built. And I can't imagine it losing steam in 6 years. 0-60 in 6.4? I believe that's right close to the Infinity. The car speaks for itself. Park it somewhere and watch the reactions of poeple walking by. It screams luxury. It's the only car ford did NOT want to put a 4.6 in STRICTLY because they WANTED to be different and "more refined". If that constitutes a copycat car then it's a sad day for detroit. I'm not a lincoln guy, but that car demands respect and admiration like no other lincoln before it.

jfk did not get a lot done on this issue, though he was a proponent of civil rights (some say that led to his assasination) but there was little legislation passed during his era...johnson, his vp did most of that (as unpopular as he was) after jfk's assasination....though there were milestones during kennedy's tenure...go to the wikepedia site, and look up civil rights

You left out Ted Kennedy...he allowed a woman to suffocate to death in the back seat of his car.

Okay...JFK was murdered by a combination of CIA, Mossad, French Intelligence and the Mafia on behalf of the military industrial complex. In a nutshell: JFK was a bit too reactionary for the m/i c; he wanted to make too many reforms. In his own words, he wanted to "smash the CIA into a thousand pieces" over their Cuban faux pas. He sacked the Director of CIA, Allen Dulles, shortly before he was assassinated. Allen Dulles, funnily enough, ended up being one of the members of the -you guessed it- Warren Commission! \nNow, it is no big secret that JFK's dad used his influence with the mafia -particularly a mobster named Sam Giancana- to get Jack elected. Which is all very well and good, even though the Kennedy's had every intention of double crossing the mob, especially when Bobby, as Attourney General, went after them. But JFK's biggest mob related mistake was screwing around with Giancana's mistress. That was the last straw. \nSo Kennedy had to go. It was at the hands of the military industrial complex, BUT they needed some help with the operation. This is where Mossad and French intelligence come in. \nAs for Lee Harvey Oswald...he really was a patsy. I think he constitutes the mafia connection. But no way was he the "lone gunman". Let's consider some of the forensic evidence, shall we?\nJFK was hit three times. The first was to the throat. This bullet came from the front, as even the Zapruder film shows. The second bullet came from behind, and was most likely the one fired by LHO. This is the supposed "magic bullet" that went through Kennedy and into Gov. Connally. The third fatal head shot also came from the front. Eyewitness reports from Dealey Plaza (which were, of course supressed by the media) claim that two or three men with guns were seen hanging around the...Grassy Knoll! Most people considered them to be Secret Service Agents. Oh, yes...Bernard Barker, a CIA agent who would gain infamy nine years later as one of the Watergate burglars, was also on the scene. Possibly overseeing the op. Guess who else happened to be in Dallas on Novemeber 22nd? Richard Nixon! Could be a coincidence...\nSo, long story short, JFK was killed because he was stepping on waaaaay too many toes. And when you do that, you're gone. Some people say it was a failed coup. Not quite. The JFK assassination was more or less personal, not business, as Michael Corleone ("The Godfather") would put it...\nCheck out the following books:
