>Dear John Hunt, > This may take some time because of different interests, but I think I >can answer most of your guestions in this manner. Before customizing the >1961 Lincoln Continental the limo weighted 5,215 pounds and cost $7,347 >dollars. After alteration the limousine was 3 1/2 feet longer and 6 inches >taller. The exact height was 59 inches. Standard height 53", Paul Crute's >limo (example). The motor was a stock 430 cubic inch V-8 from Wixom, >Michigan. The rear seat could be raised 10 1/2 inches. Only President could >set height of rear seat. The wheel base was 156 inches. The limo length >currently is 248 inches. The Warren Commission had limo listed at 20.6 feet. > So appears to be exact same length. The width of the limo is exactly 71 >inches. The wheels are 27 inches wide. 84.5 inch per turn. The two rear >hand grips are 7 and 1/4 inches wide. The build in rear carrier on rear is >also 27" wide. The height of the limo mesaured from the ground is 59" to top >of Presidential windshield. The roll bar glass opening was 9 1/2 inches >wide, and 18" high. 41" height. Don't remember height off ground. The rear >foot stand on rear fender was 14" wide each side..From tire holder to tip of >back seat cushion was 25". The front hood was 60". The height of the >centered rear view mirror was 52" in height. To obtain exact measurements >Contintental name tap exactly 8" in lenght. The rear door was exactly 39" in >length. The door handles were also exactly 8" in length. As to the jump >seats. They could not be raised, but as close I could tell were approx 4" >lower than height of rear seat. The rear seat was raised about 3" higher. >The bullet transiting through the rear seat from the rear transited through >top of seat (See CE-853) transiting out upper cushion area into President's >back. CE-873 shows knife cut after bullet removed from rear seat near >Jacqueline. Notice Ce-874, seat lowered before photo was taken of limousine. > Back shot at approx. Z-189. Front transit windshield shot Z-200-218, >Kennedy throat. Connally rear Z-224-225, back chest only. Connally's right >wrist from grassy knoll Z-290. Blood pattern first seen in Zapruder film. >Heart beat spray Z-240 approx. Proves shot of President in rear of back. >Connally wrist shot confirmed CE-873. Z-295 1st Kennedy head shot, Z-295. >Ballistic trail cofirms downward angle of shot. (Kennedy head rear). >Greer gun seen frame Z-303. Why Z-302-303 edited. Z-293-295, Greer head turn >to front, next head turn to front Z-317-321. Rear to front, front to rear, >rear to front only 26 frames. Impossible. Use Position of Mary Moorman to >Greer's head to prove limo made rolling stop. 8 mph on film. > Anyway hope this answers most of your questions. The other measurements >of jump seat measurements, can't find off hand. Kennedy and Connally 30" >apart. When WCR did re-enactment used Queen Mary, I checked it's length, >exactly 21", so why does the Queen Mary take up less viewing area in Zapruder >film. Hopefully, this information will help. Roy L. Schaeffer. I think I >have given you enough info to do your own calculations
