Hearse used after JFK slain in Dallas

A white hearse used to transport President John F. Kennedy’s body following his assassination in Dallas has sold at auction for $160,000. The Cadillac carried the bronze casket containing JFK’s body on the afternoon of Nov. 22, 1963, from Parkland Memorial Hospital to Dallas Love Field Airport, from where the body was flown to Washington.

The Dallas Morning News (http://dallasne.ws/yFgyFz ) says Kennedy’s widow, Jacqueline, accompanied the casket in the hearse wearing her blood-spattered pink Chanel suit.
