Well, while the Kennedy limo (known as X-100) was rebuilt with a new solid roof and interior, this is not it. As stated, this is a 1969 used by Nixon and 'retired' to Greenfield Village in 1977.

It is not the car in which Kennedy was assassinated. Kennedy's was a 1961 Lincoln, the "X100". After the assassination, it was rebuilt, making it armored, and used by Johnson, Nixon, Ford, and Carter. It is on display in Dearborn, Michigan. I stood next to it.

Yep, it's Nixon's '69 Lincoln Continental.

Sunbeam Harrington. With Japanese-market mirrors???
EDIT: Judging from the outsize script on the front fender, it's a Sunbeam Harrington Le Mans. More info at the Sunbeam Harrington club site.

That's correct Stephen. The forward mounted Raydot racing mirrors were often seen on British sportscars of the early '60s.

That appears to be a 1947 Cadillac Series 62 Club Coupe or "sedanette."

Amazingly, I spotted one of these on Saturday, in the parking lot of our local K-Mart.. Not sure of the year, but pretty darn close!

Must have been pretty hard on pedestrians!
