SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - An auction house specializing in collectible classic cars plans to auction the hearse used to carry the body of President Kennedy from a Dallas hospital to Air Force One.
In a statement issued yesterday, Barrett-Jackson Auction Co. of Scottsdale announced a Jan. 21 auction of the Cadillac hearse.
O’Neal Funeral Home of Dallas used the hearse to bring a bronze casket to the hospital after Kennedy’s assassination on Nov. 22, 1963, then to carry the casket containing the president’s body to Love Field.
Earlier this year, Barrett-Jackson auctioned the ambulance that was used to carry the slain president’s body from Air Force One at Andrews Air Force Base to Bethesda Naval Hospital.
