It’s 50 years since legendary John F. Kennedy died, and events surrounding his death are inextricably tied to cars. The most famous car associated with him is also the most recognisable. Codenamed X-100 by the US secret service, the limousine was put to work in June 1961 after extensive modifications by the Ohio-based armored coachbuilder Hess & Eisenhardt. Following the president’s assassination in Dallas, the limousine was impounded and examined for evidence before being sent for another significant upfitting in Ohio. It was last used in a presidential procession in 1977, during the Carter Administration, and now is on view at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.
