I'll be watching this one closely. It would be so great to be able to own this piece of history!

[@lincolnaddict]

TY and I agree. I bring up what I covered on the podcast in the past... this may not have been the car on the tarmac in the photo of JFK's coffin being loaded onto Air Force One.. but it is still an amazing piece of history.

The car on the tarmac was the powder blue (or silver mink, either way it was a light blue) '64 convertible which LBJ was sitting in during the motorcade. There is video footage of it racing towards Parkland and pics of it close to the emergency entrance of Parkland. There is also well known video footage showing a bouquet of flowers lying on the back seat of this car (black interior) which was given to Lady Bird Johnson. After LBJ left Parkland for Love Field, Jackie followed soon after with JFK's casket and Jackie's press secretary Pam Turnure, personal secretary Mary Gallagher, JFK's secretary Evelyn Lincoln, LBJ's secretary Liz Carpenter and another WH staff member all crammed into this car and rushed to Love Field and reached just in time as the casket was being offloaded from the Ambulance and carried up the stairs into AF1. In that pic showing the car on the tarmac, you can see part of Mary Gallagher standing right behind Jackie. This car was probably 'borrowed' from a local LM dealership by the secret service for the Dallas motorcade which is what they usually did when they needed convertibles for such events.

Hey, thank you so much. I know you chime in on other videos and I really appreciate the information… I’ve read a lot about the assassination but some of these details I’ve never necessarily looked into… Like I said, I want to get the story correct and it looks like the person that commented to the continental comments back in 99 was incorrect… Thanks again to you and the other individual above that chimed in.

The car on the tarmac was SilverMink 1964 LC convertible. I spoke with Clayton Townsend from the production company about letting them paint my white 1964 convertible SilverMink and the repainting it back white after the movie. I live in Dallas and when the production company was looking for the car for LBJ, they saw mine parked in front of the hotel they were staying in. They offered me $250.00 to use the car and they pay for the painting. I refused. They offered me $50.00 dollars per day to use the car in background shots. I would have to deliver the car to them every morning at 7:00 am and pick it up at 6:00 every evening. I refused. That’s my JFK filming story. .

Hey, thank you so so much. Maybe you were the one that commented before as well? I kept thinking it was a Facebook comment but maybe it was a CZcams comment… I certainly appreciate you chiming in and I want to get the story correct thank you for sharing your story.

[@dano51222]

Probably Facebook. I just started using u-tube last year. I love your videos. Thank you so much.

[@lincolnaddict]
