[Shotimes] OT: Continental that JFK was shot in on Ebay...

[James White]

Yes, the Lincoln that Kennedy was shot is in the Henry Ford Museum, but
according to them, it never belonged to the Guvment, but always belonged to
FoMoCo and was leased as was the Eisenhower '53 Lincoln, which is also
there.

Also, they have the chair in which A. Lincoln was sitting when he was shot
as well as the gun that Booth used.

This is a really great Museum!  They have everything from the biggest steam
locomotive ever built to one of 8 Bugatti Royals.  If you get bored looking
at all of the autos and trains, you can go to Greenfield Village, where
Henry moved many whole houses and shops of inventors such as Edison and the
Wright Brothers.
