Yep.
Even so, no explanation for why such an assassination would be set up given that THEY believed JFK would have the dome. Who know about the dome being removed per JFK’s request, and when? Certainly the timing of that would be critical, as according to this guy they were planning months out.
The White House leased the Lincoln Continental directly from Ford for $500 per year, and paid $200k to Cincinnati’s Hess and Eisenhardt for modifications, few of them relating to protective equipment. The upgrades included three-and-a-half feet of added length, two radio telephones, stowable, front-facing jumper seats in the middle row, a rear seat that could be raised hydraulically to give a better view of the car’s occupants, and a six-piece clear plastic roof system that could be packed away in the trunk.
That clear plastic bubble roof was not installed when one or more gunmen opened fire on the president during his parade through the streets of Dallas on November 22nd, 1963, but it likely wouldn’t have made a whole lot of difference.
The bubble roof, it is now known, was not bullet-resistant, let alone bulletproof. A summary report from a Secret Service agent on detail that day described the top as being bulletproof, but curator Gary Mack of Dallas’ Sixth Floor Museum says this is likely because that agent did not want other agencies to know it offered no real protection.
There was no protective armor anywhere else on the vehicle, either, leaving JFK and the rest of the limo’s occupants very vulnerable.
