The auction estimate for the last car John F. Kennedy rode in alive is $300,000-$500,000.

This car that is for sale isn’t the 1961 Presidential Limo in which JFK was shot in in Dallas on November 22, 1963.

Two Lincoln limousines that transported former US president John F. Kennedy are going up for sale at the Bonhams American Presidential Experience Auction in New York on Wednesday, October 14th.
