I believe that link to the JFK car is incorrect. The limousine he was riding in when shot was a '61. And get this, it was completely modified afterwards and STILL USED "by five American presidents - John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard M. Nixon, Gerald R. Ford, and Jimmy E. Carter. The custom coachwork on the original car was done by Hess and Eisenhardt Company."

The quote above is from this site, which includes pics of the modified limo. Unbelievable that they kept the car. It must have been a spooky damn thing to ride in.http://www.remarkablecars.com/for-sale/showproduct.php?product=25329
