I just read that this car was used for 13 more years by different Presidents.

As many people have said....." for a while, for a few brilliant years, it was Camelot."


RIP JFK, we need men like you now more than ever....;(

Very tragic family the Kennedys.....So many lost too young. The 3 oldest sons all killed basically while in service of their country.

And John Jr., so remembered for saluting at his father's funeral, taken in his prime in a plane crash.

The Kennedys were many things to the nation, good and bad....

In my opinion JFK was the last president this country had that was actually worth a shit. The sad things is that we'll never have another president like him because our country's owners won't allow it. Anytime a leader tries to bring people together, rather than segregate them or tries to tell people to love each other, take responsibilities for themselves and live peacefully they get murdered. Isn't that weird?

George Cariln said it best.

I always love hearing stories about where people were at that moment. He was so loved by Americans.
