John F. Kennedy hearse sells for $160,000 - A Cadillac hearse that carried the body of President John F. Kennedy to Air Force One following his assassination in Dallas was sold at a Scottsdale, Ariz., auction for $160,000.
The car was sold at Barrett-Jackson auction company's annual Scottsdale collector car auction. The price does not include fees paid to the auction company, which usually add about 10%.
A Cadillac hearse like this would ordinarily be worth about $40,000 if not for its connection to the Kennedy assassination, said Jonathan Klinger of the collector car insurance company Hagerty Insurance.
Still, the price paid for this car was surprisingly close to that paid last year for an ambulance that, while purportedly also connected to the Kennedy assassination, was saddled with controversy.
