Where is the car that Kennedy was in when he was assassinated?

This world-famous car is now on display at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan

For the Kennedy White House, the Secret Service purchased a convertible parade limousine custom built by Hess & Eisenhart of Cincinnati, Ohio from a 1961 Lincoln four-door convertible. Code named the SS-100-X, it was in this car that JFK was assassinated in 1963. By that time, the front of the car had been updated with the grille/headlight/bumper assembly from the 1962 model. After the assassination, the limousine was returned to Hess & Eisenhart, where it was repaired and retrofitted with full armor and a fixed roof. It subsequently continued in service for the White House for many years.

What made JFK intelligent?

President Kennedy was certainly smart in the traditional meaning of the word. His intelligence however came in even greater significance in the form of wisdom. And it was wisdom inspite of his years. Singularly among the ExComm committee, for example, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, he stood against the invasion of Cuba. Unbeknowst to any of the American advisors, nuclear weapons had already been activated on the island 90 miles from US shores. Had Kennedy relented and agreed to the invasion, it would have certainly started WWIII and resulted in the annihilation of close to 100 million people. If any other politician been President instead of JFK, you wouldn't be reading this now. Subseqauently and sobered by the near disastrous clash with Kruschev's generals in the Soviet Union, Kennedy authored and signed the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, again saving hundreds of thousands of people from contracting cancers from the fallout of of continued nuclear testing. Listen to JFK's American University speech a couple of months before he was killed and you will understand why the "powers that be" could not tolerate Kennedy's vision of peace and the necessary end to a state of constant war, that this peace required. He was eons ahead of his time and no President has come close since, in terms of his vision and wisdom in advocating for peace "for all people, not just in our time but for all time".

What policy did Kennedy follow in Vietnam?

Kennedy was a decorated combat veteran of WW2. He knew war well, and he knew the meaning of the "atomic age"; in which total wars were no longer options (total wars meant mutually assured destruction/nuclear weapons). Consequently, Kennedy developed a very strong interest in "special warfare"...and the US Army's GREEN BERET and the Navy's SEALs were the result of President Kennedy's interests. In 1961 Kennedy sent his "special warfare men" to Vietnam; they were to fight fire with fire...and beat the enemy at their own game. When Kennedy was shot in 1963, the old regime (Traditional thinkers) took over the White House; and Vietnam was fought WW2 style...with bombers, tanks, and artillery.

After how many days of being president was JFK assassinated?

What did the warren commission decide about the Kennedy assassination?

The Warren commission declared that Lee Harvey Oswald shot j.F.Kennedy three times in the back of the head.

WRONG!

The warren commission concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald was indeed acting alone, and that three shots were fired, though only two made there mark. The first, stated the Warren Commission, shot Kennedy in the back and then went on to hit Governor Connally in the chest, then wrist then thigh (this is often referred too as the 'Magic bullet,') and the second successful shot hit Kennedy in the head. All three shots were fired from the sixth floor of the Dallas Texas school book depository. Re-enactments have since taken place to see if it is actually possible to make both of the shots from the book depository (from the backwards left direction of kennedy's head when shot, it suggests a second shooter on the grassy knoll,) and it has been proven that it could have been done. The Warren Commission also stated that Oswald's killer Jack Ruby was also acting alone.

Was John F. Kennedy warned not to go to Dallas?

Former Illinois Governor and two time Democratic nominee Adlai Stevenson warned JFK in advance. Stevenson had been in Dallas one month earlier and the scene was so hostile, he was assaulted.

Chief Justice Earl Warren was at the WH for the annual Justice Dept. dinner held near Thanksgiving. JFK was to leave shortly after for Dallas. Warren, a JFK friend who eulogized him later at the National Cathederal, was in the family quarters that were crowded. He told JFK directly it was ill advised to go.

Earlier in 1963, at the request of RFK, Gen. Douglas McArthur, a friend of the father Joseph P. Kennedy, met the brothers in the Oval office. They asked him to make inquiries about the growing volatility focused on JFK. All that was later repeated was that he told JFK and RFK, "you are surrounded by your enemies".

Was John F. Kennedy a successful president?

Yes in fact he is widely regarded as one of the greatest in U.S. history. His two year and ten month presidency granted the country with everything except a longer term length. If Kennedy had served a full two terms he would have probably ended the Vietnam war much sooner and be ranked even higher on the various 'greatest presidents' rankings.

His most notable moment as president was probably the Cuban Missile Crisis in which he saved the innocent u.s. citizens from a nuclear holocaust. Today however he is unfortunately most remembered for getting sniped in the head by God knows who.

Plus, he had the hottest first lady Ms. Jackie Bouvier and he also banged Marilyn Monroe.

How much is a john f Kennedy 1776 1976 half dollar worth?

If it has no mint mark or a "D" above the dates, it's made of copper-nickel rather than silver and has no added value unless it's in a very high uncirculated grade.

If it has an S mint mark, it's a 40% silver collector's coin. If in its original Mint packaging it could be worth about $3.00 as of 10/2009

Although the Bicentennial design was only used for one year on these Kennedy halves, the Mint actually produced them for two years -- 1975 & 1976 -- which is why there are no half dollars dated 1975. Over 520 million of these coins were made for circulation -- much higher than for any other year of this series. Therefore they are considered common.

"E Pluribus Unum", "LIBERTY"

All modern U.S. coins have those mottoes so that's not a distinguishing piece of information.

Proof or uncirculated 40% silver versions may be worth $5-6 retail. Proof in CN probably about the same. High-end uncirculated CN versions a couple dollars. Anything else, fifty cents. There are still hundreds of millions in circulation.
None of the bicentennial coins made for general circulation contain any silver or are worth more than face value. Only Proof and collectors coins sold from the US Mint are worth more.
