1961 SS-100-X - the new Presidential limousine that JFK will ride in during
the Dallas motorcade - is delivered to the White House today.
It has been built by the LincolnMercury Division of the Ford Motor Company.
It was assembled in their Wixom, Michigan plant.
SS-100-X started out as a 1961 Lincoln Continental Convertible.
At the Experimental Garage atthe Ford Proving Grounds, the car was stretched 41 inches and the frame was strengthened to
accommodate the additional length and weight.
The car was then shipped to Hess and
Eisenhardt where it was upholstered.
Nothing about the original SS-100-X is bulletproof or
bullet-resistant in any way.
The windshield is a standard two-ply safety glass windshield for
which a replacement could be found at any Lincoln dealership or any automotive glass
replacement shop.
It is 255" long, had a wheelbase of 156", is 78.6" wide and 57" high and weighs
7,800 lbs.
Its engine is a 430 cubic inch V-8. The jumpseats are set in and down; exact
measurements are not found in any Ford Motor Company or government publication.
It has a special short-turn radius (61.9', compared to 64 feet on the 1950 Eisenhower 'Bubbletop' which
had been its predecessor). Limousine website.
