DALLAS (AP) — Film footage of President John F. Kennedy’s motorcade speeding down a Dallas freeway after he was fatally wounded has emerged.
It will go up for auction later this month. RR Auction will offer up the home film in Boston on Sept. 28.
It begins with Dale Carpenter Sr. just missing the limousine carrying the president and first lady Jacqueline Kennedy.
It captures other vehicles in the motorcade as it travels down Lemmon Avenue toward downtown.
The film then picks up after Kennedy has been shot, with Carpenter rolling as the motorcade roars down Interstate 35 toward Parkland Memorial Hospital.
