The JFK Ambulance Is A Fake

This auction Saturday ambulance that President John F. Kennedy's body performed worldwide attention. The only problem? It was almost perfect forgery. Here is how a group of historians discovered the truth about what happened in the real ambulance.

UPDATE: The auction house Barrett-Jackson backed away somewhat from his original claim for authenticity and Jalopnik attacked during a press conference today. Our answer here.

Probe shows as much as you'd expect from an artifact of the history of the JFK assassination buffs professional auto companies were unable to pierce holes in the documentation that the seller '63 Pontiac Bonneville ambulance, but photographic evidence that vehicle destroyed 1986: e After weeks of my own research and solicit his original story of an ambulance, we have now said that Barrett-Jackson a press conference Friday, we reveal the results below.

Offered by the end of last year, the auction company, received hundredth slate JFK clinic profiles - Wall Street Journal, CBS News, almost all major news outlets ran a story about the auction this Saturday.

Ambulances were JFK FakeAnd why not? It's a compelling story school. When Jacqueline Kennedy returned to Washington with President of the Bureau on November 22, 1963, ordered the Secret Service, his remains will be transported to Bethesda Naval Medical Center for autopsy. Waiting for Kennedy at Andrews Air Force Base has a gray ambulances, marked "U.S. Navy 94-49196", as the television images of the arrival of the coffin of the president.


Barrett-Jackson announced in December that it would ambulances offered for sale with the government that JFK sat in storage until it was auctioned for the excess. Auctioneers president Steve Davis offered its historical value and origin, with some estimates that the vehicle can easily reach over one million U.S. dollars. "Nobody ever has spots, builder, producer, marine, and related documents attached," Davis told Phoenix television station. "There are reports that the car had been crushed, the Kennedy okay'd break, it's not ... Well, these things are wrong."


Ambulance appearance immediately raised suspicions among members of the Professional car Society, partly because they were in a similar case. Ten years ago, the California collector, he was in possession of an ambulance, painted gray, U. S. Navy with the same number, but later rejected his claims. Barrett-Jackson owner of the ambulance, John Doe, says in several places, bought California collector for the last few years.

After several e-mails from members of the Professional car Society, Davis said at a forum earlier this month that the vendor was able to use the Freedom of Information Act to prove that his clinic was the same vehicle to the body of President Kennedy draw:

Barrett-Jackson has in his possession a copy of which was taken at our request, the sender, the newly discovered documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act Department of Navy / general surgeon, and Superior Coach Corporation, is the first time how Marine links registration and VIN 1963 Pontiac Bonneville chassis together.

Barrett-Jackson has been offered a clinic on an auction for half owner, but we refused to accept it, is based on the fact that there is no proof of VIN or provenance, which concerns a specific clinic Kennedy.

Thereafter, new and current owner, through an extensive study did not document that I said it first, Volume VIN and registration number of the sea together.

The documents show, Superior Coach Corporation, in response to the question of the Navy, the Navy has confirmed the registration number 94-49196, and the number of Navy contracts, DA-20-113-AMC-1236-X, and Serial (VIN) 863P198767 from the ambulance that John F. Kennedy, his wife and brother out of Andrews Air Force Base.

While the other images show the corresponding serial numbers were enough for some skeptics, it does not conform to Dan Hydrogen Linger, a 22-year old evidence to the contrary.

In 1988 he wrote Hydrogen Linger congressman, Republican Bob Michel, asking what happened to Pontiac hearse. Michael replied to the U.S. Navy, who said that the Kennedy family demand from Mary Kennedy Presidential Library in 1980 and later destroyed.

Ambulance JFK is fake

How Hydrogen Linger raises doubts and questions about the documents and began to come, this time from various sources. Historian Paul Hoch, one of the leading experts on the Kennedy assassination, written by Barrett-Jackson on the two letters, the auction house sent an ambulance to the FOIA files. Letters were sent to the Director-General of the Navy Admiral Bart Hogan, and from 10 December 1963.

Problem? Hogan left the Navy in 1961 and was head of the American Psychiatric Association at the time of the Kennedy assassination.

In January the 11th, says Barrett-Jackson Davis, the chairman and Society Forum Hoch professional car again, provides current information on investigations into the auction house. Even when he says that Barrett-Jackson "is not subject to a presentation on the history and origin of this particular car out," Davis said inspections showed that the serial number at Bonneville with the information in the documents.

Another factor that played in our analysis is the credibility of the sender of this vehicle. He is a doctor and an avid collector and has gone to extraordinary effort to do their diligence in examining the history of the vehicle. He was very cooperative and helpful as we examine the different problems with him in this process to address.

At this time the problems were in a standoff with the auction house has a number of documents and car historians claim that the evidence pointed to the original JFK clinic was destroyed, but there is no evidence that it happened.

Ambulance FakeBut JFK was more beaten watched by more questions from professional car found. Ambulance JFK was sometimes described as "uncorrected" but the letters on the side and back of the ambulance is not shown in the 1963 film at Andrews Air Force Base, and Barrett-Jackson car was between the "U" and "S" where the original was.

Ambulances were FakeOn JFK Tuesday PCS manager Steve Lichtman was proof of auto companies are looking for: Dana 26 June 1986 the hearse was crushed in a landfill Boston, testimony of John F. Kennedy Library, apparently at the request of the Kennedy clan. Photos from that day shows ambulance with ID numbers from 1963 and on to the back door.
After sending images to the Barrett-Jackson Davis sent a new message in the forum, said the auction house will hold a meeting on Friday to announce what he had learned much about the vehicle:

It is important to understand that Barrett-Jackson is no positive statement about the history or origin of this particular car out, and we must be aware of these facts to those candidates who register for participation in the auction of this vehicle. What we do is to promote high standards we set for ourselves in pursuit of legitimate questions and concerns regarding the vehicle as important as the ambulance Kennedy.

Barrett-Jackson spokesman confirmed the company will be held on Friday, but does not give full information about what they will say the auction house. On the basis of a lasting work of professional car rental, there is one less mystery Kennedy
