Man adds JFK's hearse to his 400-car collection
- Colorado car collector buys JFK's hearse for $176K
- The car's new owner is excited to own a piece of history
- He says he will display the Cadillac in his showroom, which already boasts 400 classic vehicles
A car collector is adding another item to his impressive 400-auto arsenal: JFK’s hearse.
Colorado real estate developer Stephen Tebo bought the 1964 white Cadillac Miller-Meteor for $176,000, according to HLN affiliate KCNC.
Tebo told the station he’s honored to own the car that carried President John F. Kennedy’s body after he was assassinated. He says he remembers seeing the images of the hearse on TV, carrying the president’s casket -- as well as First Lady Jackie Kennedy -- from the hospital to Air Force One in Dallas.
“To be able to own this as a piece of history like that is very amazing for me,” Tebo said.
The Cadillac joins Tebo’s already massive car collection, which includes numerous other classic Cadillacs, as well as several famous vehicles you may have seen in movies and TV series. According to HLN affiliate KMGH, the hearse will be displayed in Tebo’s showroom, which he hopes to make into a museum one day.
