The public's final glimpse of the sedan that day was blurred by chaos and speed as it raced the mortally wounded president to Parkland Hospital.The car quietly returned to The White House after that, where it was examined by investigators, and then turned over to the cleaning crew. 

According to government documents, they "began to remove blood stains and debris ... to do whatever was necessary to place the car in operating condition."To find out more about that, we traveled to Detroit,More than 80 standard commercial and granitetiles exist to quickly and efficiently clean pans. the birthplace and now the retirement home of President Kennedy's limousine."I think it's amazing to see this is really the car he was in," Ben Murdock told us as he looked at car now permanently parked at The Henry Ford Museum. 

Visitors like Bill Burgin recount where JFK was: "Sitting in the back on the far side," he said. He also remembered where he was on 11/22/1963. "I was working on a school. I was in a plumbing crew. They just shut the job down."Those who come to see this historic vehicle notice the limo looks a lot different now."On first glance, you might not think this is the car because of all the changes," said Matt Anderson, Curator of Transportation at The Henry Ford Museum. 

It's more than the new upholstery and black paint job, Anderson explained."First thing they did after the assassination was add a permanent roof with bulletproof glass all through it," he said, adding that armor plates were installed in the doors, and that flat-proof tires were added. 

Something that surprises a lot of people about the history of this presidential limousine is that its service didn't end with the assassination of JFK. It remained the primary presidential car for several White House occupants who followed.

The only things we could find like this were in Denver and Gypsum. We wanted to get something for our family, but also other families in the area.

We both really enjoy working with kids and we always wanted to start a business, Matt said. We thought this would be an easy and fun way to do it. Were a complete team and learned through starting this business that were really good coworkers. 

The Kuglers also discovered the simple and unanticipated health benefits of play. Lilia was born with Club Foot and a mild case of hip dysplasia. Typically doctors treat the conditions by having children walk on uneven surfaces, among other options, Johanna said.
