At auction is a bizarre item to purchase: a blood-splashed piece of leather from the Lincoln Continental in which John F. Kennedy was shot.

The piece of leather is four days after the assassination of John F. Kennedy on november 22 1963 from the car cut in research in the White House. The doctrine was responsible for the presidential limousine, (F. Vaughn Ferguson) from the auto cut because this is prepared for Lyndon B. Johnson, the president after Kennedy, possibly with the car to the funeral of Kennedy.

There is a letter on official paper from the White House that the authenticity must be guaranteed.

…The leather, light blue and dark blue, is from the automobile in which John F. Kennedy, President of the United States, was Assassinated…Four days after the Assassination the White House upholsterer and I removed this leather at the White House. The light blue leather is from the center of the rear seat. The dark blue letter is from the border of the rear seat. The spots on the leather are the dried blood of our beloved President, John F. Kennedy…

President Johnson used the car (one of several Lincoln Continentals that Kennedy on the day of the murder) was eventually not to be at the funeral to be present. If you are interested in this bizarre piece of history than you can offer on the website of Nate D. Sanders. The current highest bid is $2148$.
