President John F. Kennedy’s midnight blue Lincoln limousine will forever be linked to the terrible events that unfolded in Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963. Fifty years later, many people are stunned to learn the Lincoln not only still exists, but that it served for another 13 years in the Presidential motorcade.
No other vehicle is as seared into the memory of a nation as the Lincoln limousine President John F. Kennedy rode in during his assassination on November 22, 1963, in Dallas.Five decades after those gunshots forever changed a nation, that same limo remains on display at The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.
"A lot of people assume it was destroyed, or locked away in some warehouse never to be seen again," Matt Anderson, the museum’s curator of transportation, told the News. The 1961 Lincoln’s incredible history continued long after the tragic events that unfolded in Dallas. Only five months after Kennedy’s assassination, the car was fully rebuilt, upgraded with bulletproof armor, and returned to the Presidential motorcade.

At The Henry Ford museum since 1978, JFK’s Lincoln limousine is kept exactly as it was when it left the Presidential motorcade pool.
