Serial killer stuff
Shouldn't put this stuff online. The guy is most likely deceased but be careful guys. Go to the Police.
That car must have previously owned by a Madame
They’re called suicide doors because if u were to ever open them while driving down the road, the wind would pull them open because they’re facing the opposite direction and pull you with it. Basically if u ever opened those doors while moving it would be like committing suicide when it pulls u out of the car.
I presume that the owner of the files and papers was an agent in the adult industry and was collecting data on possible new actors for the industry. I don't think it is anything more sinister nor illegal. But it's just a presumption. But if that is the case there shouldn't be any reason to hide those papers, so we never know if it could be something more sinister.
The car known as the X-100 was transported from Texas to the White House, where it was declared a piece of evidence in the murder. Instead of being taken directly to a scrapyard, the vehicle when to a mechanic for modifications. A roof was added to the limo as well as protective armor and bulletproof glass. Once those features were in place and the limo was declared mechanically sound, it was returned to the presidential motorcade. Even more surprising is that JFK wasn’t the last president to use that exact car. With the additional safety measures in place, X-100 returned to the Presidential fleet. Lyndon B. Johnson rode in it for a 25-minute on Oct. 5, 1964, in a parade that was designed to honor Diosdado Macapagal, who was the president of the Philippines. Lyndon B. Johnson (LBJ) used it a few times but admitted that he was never 100% comfortable while in the vehicle. Whenever possible, he tried to use a different vehicle. One of the complaints he had was that it had been painted the original blue, at his request, the vehicle was repainted. A few years later, President Nixon requested that a hole be cut into the roof, per the Daily Mail. This allowed him to wave and nod at people as he was driven past. Later, while he was campaigning, President Ford and his supporter, John Wayne, took advantage of Nixon’s addition to X-100. Jimmy Carter used the car a few times before X-100 was officially retired. The newly decommissioned vehicle was sent to Detroit, where it remains a very popular exhibit at the Henry Ford Museum. (Above information from Ford and other articles available in the net) Suicide doors are called suicide doors due to being able to open at speed and holding the handle they would fly open and pull the occupant holding the handle out of the car. You guys know how heavy the doors are so imagine the force multiplied exponentially due to moving air and the “sail” effect. They caused some deaths. That’s why early hot rodder’s such as my father put a sliding bolt style latch inside the doors when building them that was locked into a swing down notch like a gate hinge closes as well as the factory latch. Hope this helps.
I am curious if the museum is able to get SS-100-X fired up and running considering it probably didn't run for a very long time.
I hope you realize they said that this vehicle was not the actual car. They were joking…
I've read that Lincoln put an interlock into the Continentals with suicide doors to prevent the doors from being opened with the car in DRIVE and avoid such deaths; I assume that Ford also put them on the '67-'71 4-door Thunderbirds. I don't remember any such interlock in my sister's Subaru 360, which had suicide doors in the front because the wheel housings were too far back to leave room for front-hinged doors; that car (about 1100 pounds, 2 cylinders) was not really engineered with safety in mind.
Kennedy's limo was then, as it remains today, owned by Ford Motor Company. Not the US Govt. The car was not the government's to scrap. The deal was that after evidence was sufficiently recovered, the car had the damaged windshield trim replaced, and was reupholstered. The new hard top was fabricated and installed. It was also repainted, and then put back into service. Johnson refused to ride in it unless it was repainted black, and so it was repainted yet again. The car remained in service at least through most of the 70s. Possible longer. It was returned to Ford, and later placed on display. The car is a 61, and had been retrimmed externally as a 62 during that model year. The engine was replaced with a modified 462 some time around 1966. The rear decklid trim had been revised to 64/65 too. The car was kept after JFK's murder because it was simply too expensive to build another one, vs repairing the one they had, which was nearly new.
@@novaseline4uit takes years to make an armored vehicle of that caliber, especially back then. The government needed an armored car as fast as possible for presidential transportation. Unlike today, when Kennedy was president the government did not have multiple armored limousines for the president.
The car JFK was shot in is in the Henry Ford museum. It was also extended length. Had between the front and back seats 2 jump seats where governor Connally and his wife sat.
I actually saw it irl
Yep. I live in Dearborn, down the street from Greenfield Village and Henry Ford Museum. The actual car is in the museum.
they know this is not the jfk car its the same make and model and yr plus the actual car was sold at hagerty auction in 2020
@johnc27 they know now but during the video it was said that it was the car
@@johnc27 It says it in the video title.
Need to post a follow-up on the items you found.
JFK Car is in the Ford Museum in Detroit along with the Reagan Car. Both cars are smaller in real life than they looked on TV. Go to Detroit to the Museum you will never regret it. And you can also tour the F150 plant and watch them being made.
I looked at JFK‘s Lincoln at the Henry Ford Museum in 1990. I need to go back to that museum because it was really neat and I remember the trains the lunar module . These kids that made this video are too young to remember how things actually happened.
And see the chair Lincoln sat in
It's in Dearborn. I live down the street from the place.
Click bail
Being a retired Detective you have likely stumbled onto something incredible. Thank you for your honesty in bringing it to the attention of law enforcement
Except it isn't the JFK car
I don't think it's the real car, friend. It's LIKE the car that JFK was shot in, but according to the other comments, the real one is in a museum.
@@timothyforsythe3155 @hercomestheboi1285 he's talking about the pictures and documents found in the car.... not crap is isnt the car jfk was in.
Oldies like these don’t have clear coat. Awesome car! Love the videos!
It's been repainted
That’s right. It’s Single Stage Lacquer as evidenced by the way it has peeled off to the black primer used in those days by Ford and a lot of other manufacturers.
@@whammond511i have a ‘68 cougar and don’t believe it’s a clear coat paint. Researching on how to wash the car without scratches
I've read that Clear Coat still didn't exist on cars until either the later 1970s or early 1980s, I forget when exactly.
My father in law has 2 of these. A black one and a ivory colored one. They are both original unrestored cars that he has owned almost 50 yrs. They are beautiful cars.
The engine is 430 cubic inch displacement. If the carb is a two barrel, then the car is an early production 62 model. Late production 62s had a four barrel.
Interesting info. I wouldn't be surprised if the heads/valves are different on the 4v version, to where just slapping an intake and carb on it would not make it a proper 4v engine. Ford and Ford customers bought a lot of 2v models. Dad had an earlier 60s Ford wagon with a less than common 4v 289. Would have been good if he would have just kept the powertrain, for when I got into Mustangs years later
Yes, the intake ports are bigger on 4V engines. That's true with every V-8. The Mercury and Lincoln big block engines were a different design from the Ford FE big blocks. I think these kids need to do their research on these old cars instead of making an ass of themselves.
Those Lincoln Continentals had 460 cubic inch engines.
@@carywollenweber4484 I thought the 385 series aka 'Lima' big blocks came out in '68? They certainly got around, here in NZ during the 80's my two older brothers and I bought 460, 429 and 400 (tall Cleveland) engines (from oldest to youngest) to rebuild in the early 90's and the 460 was the best, violent and snappy despite a mild Isky supercam, extensive exhaust porting and 11.3:1 TRW forged popups. The 429 was beyond saving - why didn't they give it a longer rod instead of that ridiculously tall piston?! - and despite my 400 getting ported 351C-4V quench heads (after starting with Aussie 302C 57.8cc quench heads), roller cam, roller rockers, the best of everything and Weiand 4V intake adapters, cam gear drive, manual trans, the works, it sucked. I suspect circular-dish pistons on quench heads killed it, so bought some KB-148 pistons that matched the chamber but got sick of being pulled over and sold it before rebuilding. But the 460... amazing. That brother went on to own a JZA80 RZS 6spd Supra, BMW M5, M6, Mercedes CLS63, CL63 and Chevy C6 Z06, C7 Z06 and I probably missed a few but I swear the only time I felt blood run away from my face was in that 460 on a painfully long and slippy 1-2 shift on the poor stock C6. There's NO doubt the Vettes would have destroyed it but they're so dangerous I only got to taste a squirt from motorway speeds, cos the lower powered LS7 one had fishtailed him shortly after buying it when some distant traffic lights went green after slowing, and he floored it from maybe 80kph and nearly died. Then we started noticing how many YT videos showed Vettes trying to k1ll their owners - he always wondered why they didn't do what Mercedes do and have an open diff and brake one wheel progressively? Incredible traction control. I still have HUGE respect for (heavily ported) 460s tho 🤗 Despite growing up building Fords we wish the LS had been invented sooner! Well played, GM. Well played.
@@carywollenweber4484 460 came in later years. This era was definitely the 430. Trivia but truth.
Definitely need an update on those documents after you notify law enforcement!
Them going threw it in the first place is not right that's concerning how many people they do this too
@@Sean-MacGuire there's absolutely nothing wrong with them going through the contents. I tell my clients to remove anything of personal value from their vehicle before turning it over to me. Regardless, if I find something I put it in a bag for them. With a vehicle this old they may (and have) run across historical documents relating to the vehicle which adds greatly to the story but may also add value to the car. And it would be their moral obligation to turn over those documents to law enforcement.
Names and documentation. Very interesting... this is how The Hardy Boys and Scooby-Doo got their first break. 😂🎉
Sara who sent in the cat video is my girlfriend, that's our little kitten!! It's so awesome to see Ghosty in one of your videos, we watch your videos all the time while we're eating dinner :) can't wait to show the cat her star appearance, she's probably busy trying to steal someone's food right now ☠️☠️
Haha that’s awesome! We love your cat. Thank you guys for watching!
I love watching your content. So satisfying to see the end result but also the quality background music and the witty banter between you guys is fab.
The door gets its name from the perceived danger of the design in the days before mandatory seatbelt use. An unlatched suicide door could easily catch the wind when the vehicle was at speed, and the passenger next to the door could be in danger of falling out
I always thought it was because of the direction of the door open could catch a person if the car took off before the person was inside the car. Either way would hurt.
@@billpitts1034that would make it a "homicide" door...
@@-S.T.P. 🤣 very true.
The name comes from the idea that you couldn't see cars coming so you at danger of being hit.
@@richardwelch2762 the name actually ties into the fact that back in the day, before seatbelts were invented, if the door opened it would catch wind and violently open when moving. And because there's no seat belts, if your instinct is to grab the door to close it, you would be violently pulled from the car. On top of that at one point earlier on in the history of car manufacturing latches weren't always reliable, and sometimes just leaning on the door could help pop the faulty latch open. So in eccence you could hit a bump, the latch fail, since you might be leaing into it for comfort it would then violently fall away from you dropping you into the road at speed to your death. In other words your actions around the door could cause an accidental suicide lol
❤ Beautiful I love everything about the old Lincoln's. Thanks for sharing it
Thank you for doing the Continental. I hope that the owner is able to restore it. It’s a fine piece of engineering.
I hope you took the build sheet out and have it laminated and keep it. Great for part of the documentation of the car. Also, WHEN you raise and lower the top MAKE SURE IT IS ON LEVEL GROUND. If you are on a slight incline and you lower or raise the top this WILL monkey up the whole works. And then you have to go through a complex procedure to realign the whole things. Great to see the rear glass on the rear doors operating properly. This is done so the glass doesn't bind or rip the top. A LOT of great info is out there especially the Lincoln Club. Keep us posted on how the clean up goes.
This one ROCKS (literally) !! Using music that goes back to the classic early 60's "'surf sounds" of the Ventures, Hank Marvin, Stratocaster and Mosrite guitars is brilliant! Kudo's for that attention to detail (pun totally intended)
Thank you ! We’ve really tried to find music that fits each car, so cool you noticed!
It isn't the JFK car.
My friend in Jacksonville had one, and she flew down the hi way when you would step on the gas! Had a lot of fun in that Old Car. We called it a land yacht.😂 Great Old Car. That was in the late 80s.
This has to be one of y’all’s best videos yet! I love the format of it all, it flows good and it’s a good blend of talking/interaction and detailing.
You're joking, right? This is the most stupid and juvenile behavior I've seen in a long while. It made me un-subscribe. Stupid foolishness.
Your videos always brighten up my Saturday. Nice one, lads!
These bags full of info you found are similar to the types of information collected by people's cell phones and internet browsers. The information is used by "legitimate" advertisers and well as shady operators. If a KZheadr who does videos about computers and the internet found this, that person would probably insert a sponsor message about VPNs and other privacy products like that. Mahalo for another excellent video!
Great detail guys. Looking forward to seeing the degreaser being released.
Cas looks beautiful.. I'm amazed how clean yous could get it. Can yous give us an update on the papers ... what did the cops think of them ?
This car was an amazing find for you guys. Thank you so very much for sharing this treasure with us.
Super clean wash🎉
These are cool cars. So big. 🤘
The trunk lid is hinged at the back and opens when you put the top down. The top flips upside down into the trunk, and the lid closes to form a smooth surface from behind the back seat to the rear. Introduced in the '58-59 model years, it was also used on the 58-66 Thunderbird convertible. Cool feature on some cool cars.
Really nice work done by you both 😊
You’ve been lied to.Thats not a limo.That convertible trunk is a nightmare of technology 😂
It’s a Kennedy Lincoln
It’s called that
Google Kennedy Lincoln there’s a white continental
@@djcrystalclear420 Except this car isn't white. The Kennedy Lincoln is actual white and has a maroon leather interior.
That not the car JFK car was Black
whatever gets the views 🤷♂️ that car would’ve most likely ended up in a museum instead of a random garage
With red stripe. Too soon?
The white leather interior was removed and is still in FBI custody with blood on it in the assassination evidence file. So yeah that’s a thing.
Correct, plus it was/is a limo and MUCH longer beside black color. If ANYBODY believes it's actually the car Kennedy was killed in their a COMPLETE idiot.
SS-100x, Kennedy's '61 Lincoln Continental was originally navy blue, after it's rebuild President Johnson requested it to be painted in black as the blue still reminded him of Kennedy. It was used from '61-'77 meaning that president Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford and Carter used it before it got donated to the Henry Ford museum.
Love the bubbles going on.. love your before and afters
Real champions! Congrats for the incredible job! Following you from Morocco.
IMO that was a very solid car. Although I’m generally not an afficiando of FOMOCO vehicles, every Lincoln 4dr convertible needs to be preserved. They were iconic and regal back in the day and a true piece of engineering from the ‘60’s. Great video and I’m glad you chose to take this car on!
Agreed. The slab Lincolns were iconic, though when they hit 1965 they lost their styling mojo. Prices on those ragtops just keep going up.
That top! WOW!
I never thought that I would like a video of cars getting cleaned. I like yours so much that I sent the link to my nephew. 😊
Wait that manual binder is amazing!
Is the degreaser like an all purpose cleaner. Or is it for heavy jobs only like engines and heavy equipment?
My 94 firebird is excited for your products !
Send us a dm on instagram and we’ll send you a bottle to try out!
I had a ride in one of these back in 1970. Rich customer of my dad. Loved it immensely
Absolutely PRICELESS car. Whomever the owner is is EXTREMELY lucky to have found this one in such great shape.
Out of every video I’ve watched this is my favorite ❤❤❤❤❤ there is no other like the Lincoln continental convertible thank you for sharing
JFK's car is in the Henry Ford museum. And is a black Lincoln.
I have detailed cars aircraft and boats for over 38 years. Your detail shop "WD" are my initials!
If a car could be happy, this car would jump for joy. Thank you for giving this fine automobile the respect it deserves. At one time these cars were the epitome of style and luxury. Great job guys!
The car JFK got assassinated in was a dark blue with blue interior, and a limo convertible. This car is none of them. Also, some of those "assassination" jokes are in pretty bad taste. C'mon RJ, you're better than that.
Why is it called a suicide door? They were hinged at the rear edge, so if the vehicle was moving and they sprang open, anyone who grabbed to stop that happening was whisked out of their seat into the roadway. Seat belts were not in use at that time.
Lincoln actually called those COACH DOORS. Suicide door is a slang term coined by the public.
The car looks cool. Love your videos ❤❤
You guys are frickin Awesome. I think you guys enjoy çleaning those old school cars
CRAZY CLICKBATE!!!!!
I have been a fan of this channel for a long time. I love the work you do and the cool cars you find. However, the crude comments that were made were really not necessary. That coupled with the clickbait makes you sink to a lower level. You guys are way better than that. I’ve also noticed you don’t show as much of the thorough cleaning as you use to. I still love you guys. You all work well together but my personal opinion is that you need to get back to the basics like some of your guests that are also well known detailers.
Good job you guys know your stuff 💯
I really liked the music you picked for this one.
The Suicide Door name is coined from a concept that is really a myth. The idea is that if you were in the back seat and the door flew open at high speed, you'd be sucked out.....now that's not really going to happen and it's also not suicide, but that's where the name comes from. Doors opening this way were common on vehicle prior to 1950's, but the door style vanished in the USA. Lincoln reintroduced this style.....on Kennedy, I think Oswald did it but was a patsy....there were people behind it all.....he got holding the bag, but I do think he pulled the trigger
I agree and I think it's possible there was more than one. One bullet cannot ricochet and hit so many people the way it. They were after Kennedy for the same reason they are after Trump now. Both Kennedy and Trump knew/know too much and they weren't/aren't willing to play the old boys game.
The motors in those land boats were massive 7.0L v8s with the 3 speed automatics lol, they made 350 horsepower and almost 500ft pounds of torque. Massive displacement !!!
Nice work on the Lincoln ! 👍
Jackie Kennedy used a white, '62 Continental hardtop (obviously operated by the secret service). The car was used between D.C., NYC and Hyannisport. It had a radio-telephone in the rear seating area. You guys need to reach out to Lincoln Land.
Found restored and sold in 2016
She also had a 59 Chrysler imperial limousine at her disposal you can see it in jfk funeral procession
The quality and craftsmanship in the build of these cars was amazing... yogurt nothing like that in todays cars.
Georgeous Car i have dreamed of of owning one of these beauty's for 35 years Awsome job on your Detailing enjoyed the Video Very much Car looks Alive Again 😮❤❤
Really makes me wonder what’s in the truck now.
The current owner bought it in the 90's, so he has for sure already looked in the trunk but never removed the back seats.
wow what a huge "boat" for sure, the before and after was amazing! but what you have found is creepy af, so i have two teories: the first is, the previous owner was a private detective or someone who kind of worked for the police, so he was allowed to take evidence and follow those people. second, it was probably mentally unstable and took those files from the bin or stole them somewhere near some police dump and was just following those men around... even tho i believe the first one is more suitable. what an unbelievable story! i hope you can update us on how this story end.
My thoughts were either serial killer stalking people, or cia stalking people to use them or set them up at a later date. if that was original owner stuff going back to 62, didn't they actively spy on citizens, compile lists of who were "communist sympathizers" or even gay back then ? I'd love to know what the cops thought of it when they turned it in. Pictures could have been surveilance from a detective, like you said.. or serial killer, stalker stuff or cia taking incriminating photos for blackmail
Wow amazing Clean up.looks nice.
The Lincoln came up a treat would have been great to see if it runs again 👍👍
The Lincoln jfk was riding in is black and is currently in the Henry Ford museum
doy
First one from Chardon, Ohio. The engine is probably a 430 cubic inch.
that rear window drop down was a feature built into the design of the car, it's done so the glass doesn't hit the lip of the roof when opening and closing.
The fourth-generation Lincoln Continental are my favorites.😊👍❤️🙂
The original vehicle was changed out in the interior, and is now at the Henry Ford museum in Dearborn Michigan.
This is NOT the assassination car.
Spectacular car. I owned a "67 convertible that was similar 41 years ago. The electrical and hydraulic systems to power & operate the deck lid, windows, and top were nothing short of a engineering masterpiece when they "worked" The 462 ci engine under the hood was equally as spectacular, other than the prone, exhaust manifold leaks. Wish I still had it, and the resources and smarts to have held on to it. At 28 years old, I knew "everything".
Blows my mind the beautiful colour and roof were under all that crap! I was 6 when that car was built. It's one of the few from that era that was completely ahead of its time in styling and would probably be a big hit if it was introduced today (with modern modifications of course). I may be wrong, but unless it was repainted recently there would not be a clear coat on it. Therefore the decontamination you did was working on single stage paint. I've never really understood click-bait until I read one of the other comments. Can't say I'm opposed but I do agree that I'd like to see more of any work you do on paint restoration as that seems to have disappeared. All that said, keep up the good work. I truly look forward to your videos.
Single stage Acrylic Enamel. NO clear coat.
Wow! That was quite the find. Mafia? Getting men for porn work? Blackmail? If you ever find out let us know!
“ABANDONED JFK CONTINENTAL” Then one of the people in the beginning say, “This is the same car JFK was shot in”. Don’t rely on clickbait, man. Be genuine with your videos and the information you put out.
Somebody should get that completely restored and running again. That would be an awesome vehicle
The reason they call the rear doors suicide door suicide is because they shut towards the person getting out of the car and if someone hits it while you have it open your crushed unlike the front door if it gets hit it will go towards the front fender you might get hurt but not dead
Whether it was the JFK car or not, your jokes about the " assassination " car were disgusting. Please remember there are many people alive who remember very clearly that awful day. It was a national trauma for us. Not funny at all. I have loved you channel and its content up until now.
Awww cry me a river. Don’t be so damn sensitive.
So sensitive…don’t like it, don’t comment
Take a joke brother.
Boo hoo. I'll play my smallest violin for you. **sad music plays** . Now suck it up toe eater.
My grandma was working in downtown Dallas that day. She got to take a break to see his motorcade go by, no sooner than she and her colleagues had gotten back to their office they received the news he was just shot. She’s turning 86 in June this year. And she remembers that day like it was yesterday!
I can't even watch this. These two are complete dorks.
I've just subscribed to your channel and I like it. Thank you guys. I used to have a hand built model of this car in aqua. Jay Leno has a 1965, I think. Designed by Elwood Engel (who quickly moved to Chrysler), it had its unique 430ci V8, I think about 7.2L. All best.
Styling wise, the 1961 Continental was a gamechanger; it went from the gaudy chrome laden fifties to a really clean, simple design and influenced American styling for years. Elwood Engel was the designer.
Why show what you find in detail? It's totally irrelevant to cleaning and mine and many other kids watch your videos
Cry about it
Absolutely beautiful!
Give the cat a thumbs up 👍
Mechanical work on this Lincoln will be costly and time consuming, but if you're fan of these Lincolns this is a good candidate for a mild restoration.
Great job guy! Love your videos!!
They are actually, coach doors. Or touring doors. Because when you are in a coach, like a stage coach.
Beautiful car, needs to be back on the road !!
Look at the service manual to see how you change a taillight bulb. Learned how to drive on one those in 1968, white with a red interior.
Back in the late 80’s my friend’s dad had one of these Continentals that needed to be restored. It still ran and drove so one day when we needed to get a ride to a school dance my friend’s sister drove us in it. My friend begged to be dropped off around the corner because she didn’t want our friends to see us getting out of that “embarrassing old car with weird doors.” They moved away a few years later. I wonder if her dad ever finished restoring that car.
Good work - bravi ragazzi👍
THIS BLOWS MY BRAINS OUT.
Needs to be in a museum!
Those were very high quality and beautiful cars of their era. And many people do refer to them as the JFK Lincolns. If I ever win the lottery, I will get a black hardtop with red interior for sure!
Omg I would love to have that car what an American class and rare find ❤️
