Presidential “Limo One” That Carried US President JFK The Day He Was Assassinated Is For Sale
A 1963 Lincoln Continental “Limo One” that carried John F Kennedy ‘JFK’ the day he was assassinated is for sale.
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.
The first of the Lincoln limousines is a white 1963 Lincoln Continental convertible, better known as “Limo One”.
This isn’t the open-topped 1961 presidential limo in which JFK was shot in on November 22, 1963, as he was making his way through Dallas.
This particular car, loaned by Golightly Auto Sales, was the final automobile to carry Kennedy safely to Carswell Air Force Base for his flight to Dallas of November 22nd — the day of his assassination.
The auction estimate for the last car former president John F. Kennedy rode in alive is $300,000-$500,000.
The other JFK car, dubbed his “personal” car around the White House, is a black armoured 1960 Lincoln Mark V limousine. It was used by President Kennedy for his personal trips around Washington. It is expected to sell for $200,000-$300,000.
The auction takes place online on October 14.
Lincoln Continental In Which JFK Was Shot
The Lincoln Continental in which JFK was shot in is currently on display at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.
After that tragic day, the limo received various modifications, including full armoring, bulletproof hardtoop and a new interior.
It was used as a Presidential limo until 1977 after serving no less than four other Presidents after JFK.
