HERE THE TEXAS GOVERNOR IS EYEING UP JFK FOR THE LATER SHOT ON ELM STREET. " THE NECK SHOT"

On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, while riding in a motorcade. The vehicle at the center of this historic tragedy was a 1961 Lincoln Continental convertible, often referred to as the JFK limo. This car not only served as a symbol of American leadership but also became an infamous crime scene, the events of which would spark numerous investigations and conspiracy theories. In the aftermath of the assassination, the limousine, now marked by the violence of that day, was taken into custody for forensic examination. The initial handling of the vehicle was critical in preserving evidence that could shed light on the tragic event, and this included a variety of materials, both forensic and environmental. Just a mere three days later—on November 25, 1963—the car was cleaned and refurbished, a decision that has harbored speculation and controversy over the decades. The decision to clean the vehicle so swiftly has been a topic of intense scrutiny. Following the assassination, the limo was examined by law enforcement and forensic teams, who documented every detail. Despite this, the cleaning of the vehicle took place at the hands of a Dallas-based company, which was commissioned to restore it. The rush to clean the limo resulted from several factors. First, there was immense public and media interest in the event and the vehicle itself; repurposing it for future use became a priority for the Secret Service, who aimed to maintain the integrity of the presidential motorcade in the wake of the tragedy. The cleaning process involved meticulous attention, focusing primarily on removing evidence of the attack, which included blood stains and bullet embedments. It was a highly sensitive task, conducted under strict supervision to ensure the vehicle could later be displayed for historical purposes, contributing to the preservation of the narrative surrounding Kennedy's legacy. This refurbishment also included mechanical repairs and cosmetic enhancements to restore the car to operational condition for its future use. Yet, this haste to clean the limo has raised questions about the preservation of evidence. Critics argue that removing the physical traces from the scene of the crime may have compromised important forensic evidence that could have provided further insights into that fateful day. The legitimacy of the cleaning process has been flagged by historians and researchers, who feel that more time should have been taken to study the vehicle in its original state before any alterations were made. In 1964, the Warren Commission was established to investigate JFK's assassination. The testimony surrounding the limo's condition became a pivotal aspect of the hearings. Several witnesses claimed that vital evidence, like blood spatter patterns, could have offered further analysis of the assassination's circumstances. Controversy surrounding the decision to refurbish the limo quickly formed a part of the larger narrative of suspicion that permeated discussions about the assassination itself. In retrospect, the urgency to clean and refurbish the JFK limo is a reflection of a society grappling with the shock of sudden tragedy and the need to restore normalcy. The historical implications of such actions resonate beyond the events of that day; they highlight the interplay between forensic integrity and the need for closure in a grieving nation. Today, the JFK limo is preserved at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. It no longer holds the bloodstains or remnants of the assassination but serves as a historical artifact that embodies the complexities of American history, memory, and the impact of leadership in turbulent times. The hurried cleaning and refurbishment of the limo will always be remembered alongside the poignant legacy of JFK, symbolizing both political vulnerability and strength in the face of tragedy, leaving future generations to ponder the narratives that weave around such pivotal events in history.
