1955 Chevy BelAir Wagon (Lee Harvey Oswald rode in it from New Orleans to Dallas in 1963)

This 1955 Chevrolet Station Wagon was recently uncovered after a 33 year+ storage here in Dallas, Texas. This is the wagon that was previously owned by Ms. Ruth Paine. The Paine's were fatefully attached to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy due to the fact that Marina Nikolayevna Oswald Porter, the wife of Lee Harvey Oswald at the time, was living with them in 1963 in Irving, Texas during the time of the JFK assassination. Lee Harvey was staying in an apartment building in Oak Cliff and would regularly visit his wife and the Paines.

Their marriage in shambles, Lee Harvey was trying to reconcile with Marina. Lee Harvey would travel to New Orleans, Louisiana in 1962-3, passing out his communist propaganda. As documented by testimony after the assassination by Ruth Paine, this '55 Chevrolet BelAir Wagon was used to travel to New Orleans and picked up Lee Harvey & his belongings, which included the rifle. Unbenounced to the Paines, Oswalds rifle was carefully wrapped in a brown and green blanket and placed in the back of this wagon. The Warren Commission (FBI) determined that the bundled blanket & rifle were stored in the Paine's garage leading up to the fateful day of November 22nd, 1963. It was purchased by a neighbor of Ruth Paine's and subsequently ended up with the son of said neighbor. There is a lot of information out there that ties Lee Harvey to this station wagon leading up to the assassination day I will try to detail.

Clifton M. Shasteen was the proprietor of Clifton's Barbershop at 1321 South Storey Rd. In Irving, Texas. He testified before the Warren Commission that Oswald had his hair cut several times at the shop and that he had personally cut Oswald's hair "three or four times." He had no doubt about this customer's identity and recalled a conversation they once had about a pair of unusual yellow shoes which Oswald was wearing. Shasteen said that Oswald told him he had got them "down in Old Mexico."

Shasteen's certainty about this man's identity is given great credence by the fact that he knew Ruth Paine by sight and had seen them together.

Midway through his testimony, Shasteen was asked by Assistant Counsel Albert E. Jenner, Jr. whether Oswald had ever driven an automobile up to the shop. Shasteen replied, "He drove that there 1955, I I think its a 1955, I'm sure its a 1955 Chevrolet Station Wagon, It's either blue and white or green and white, it's two-toned, I know that" This is little doubt that Shasteen was describing Ruth Paine's car, with Oswald driving it! This is a major revelation in the fact that Lee Harvey Oswald was not suppose to be able to drive. There are numerous witness accounts of Oswald driving. During her lengthy testimony before the Warren Commission, Ms. Paine was questioned by Assistant Counsel Albert E. Jenner, Jr. about that particular paragraph. He stated that "the Commission is very interested in the subject matter of Mr. Oswald, of Lee Oswald being about to drive a car."There exists solid evidence that Oswald was receiving driving instructions from Ruth Paine, presumably in Ruth's own car at the time, this 1955 light green Chevrolet Station Wagon, which was one of three vehicles owned by the Paines. A letter written by Ruth to her mother on Monday, October 14th, 1963, includes the following passage :

"If Lee can just find work it will help so much. Meantime, I started giving his driving lessons last Sunday. If he can drive this will open up more job possibilities and more locations."

After President Kennedy's assassination, the Paine's continued to use this wagon and it was repainted a light blue. Undoubtedly they wanted to distance themselves from Lee Harvey Oswald and his murderous act. At that time, it was known what an important piece of history that this wagon is. It was simply transportation for the Paine's until the late 1970s.

Sitting in a garage since the late 1970s, this wagon is still very solid. The exterior presents all original trim and the old repaint commission by the Paine's after the assassination. This wagon was originally two-tone green and white in color.

The original 265 2bbl. V8 engine is intact but not running. The factory generation charging system is intact along with the factory-equipped power brakes, windshield washer reservoir and Rochester carburetor. The firewall, inner fenders and core support sheetmetal is good and solid. The original color and trim identification plate is also intact as is the original VIN plate. Just think the very rifle used by Lee Harvey Oswald to kill our beloved president Kennedy sat right here and traveled to Dallas, Texas, again, unbenounced to the Paines. Who would have known that something like that would happen. The old shag carpeting is disintegrating but this we decided to leave this wagon exactly as it was pulled from the garage after its lengthy storage.

That Richard Nixon, Joan Crawford (you read that right) and George HW Bush were in Dallas that same day is also very strange...

You're really nuts, aren't you. This stuff may be even weirder than that stuff you posted on that other thread in support of communist Cindy Sheehan. Don't know why you're posting this left-wing crap on FR.

From the Wall Street Journal
NOVEMBER 24, 2007

Oswald was a dedicated communist who had defected to the Soviet Union in 1959 out of disgust with American capitalism. After becoming disillusioned with Soviet life, he returned to the U.S. in 1962. In early 1963, he bought a scoped rifle through the mail and soon used it to fire a shot (which missed) at retired general Edwin Walker, the head of the John Birch Society in Dallas. In the summer of 1963, Oswald was active in street demonstrations in support of Castro. In September 1963, he visited the Soviet and Cuban embassies in Mexico City seeking a travel visa that would allow him to travel to Cuba.

Oswald was among the radicals of the time who saw Third World revolutionaries like Castro as the wave of the communist future. He was well aware of Kennedy’s efforts to overthrow Castro’s regime. As a Senate investigative committee suggested in 1975, Oswald shot Kennedy to interrupt his administration’s plans to assassinate Castro or to overthrow his regime in Cuba.

Ignoring Oswald’s communist links, journalists and political leaders quickly claimed the president was a martyr to civil rights. Earl Warren said that Kennedy had “suffered martyrdom as a result of the hatred and bitterness that has been injected into the life of our nation by bigots.” Martin Luther King said the assassination had to be viewed against the backdrop of violence against civil rights marchers in the South. James Reston wrote in the New York Times that “something in the nation itself, some strain of madness and violence, had destroyed the highest symbol of law and order.”

The consensus opinion was that Kennedy was a victim of hate and bigotry, a casualty of his support for civil rights. The Cold War and Kennedy’s ongoing feud with Castro were rarely mentioned as factors behind the assassination. The reasons? Mrs. Kennedy wanted her husband remembered as a modern-day Abraham Lincoln. Lyndon Johnson feared complicating relations with the Soviet Union. Liberals feared a replay of the McCarthy period, when the Wisconsin senator inflamed public opinion about fears of domestic communism.

You need to brush up on your history.

Crawford was working for Pepsi and so was Nixon and so was their boss (I think his name was Kendall). Pepsi had big time Cuban sugar interests.

Don’t tell me you didn’t know Nixon’s patron since his Whittier days was Prescott Bush?

And BushRINOs are liberals... and that’s the problem with RINOs like you.

P.S. I sure sniffed out a RoveRINO in you. But here’s a question for ya.

Who’s more liberal? Someone who agrees with Cindy Sheehan on one point, her bottom-line assessment on RINO Bush?

Or a supposed Christian and Conservative former President who calls Bill Clinton his “brother by another mother” while they scheme and scam money on their Haiti “charity” together?

Now go do your homework and quit trolling me. Thanks.

Here again is the Cindy Sheehan quote I posted on that thread where you said she was "absolutely correct" in regards to GW Bush...

Oh, I forgot to mention that since Bush invaded, almost 1 million Christians have been genocided in Iraq.

If you study the origins of the word “terrorism” it stems from Vladimir Lenin and his demonized Bolshevik revolution ... against Judeo Christianity.

As I mentioned on that other thread I was no real fan of GW Bush. But I don’t side with the communist left in saying he or the US in general is/are terrorists. And that dictator Chavez was to be admired for his “standing up” to us.

Which is exactly why I am hammering Bush to you, to get you past the common way we have excused his behavior.

The letters G O P do not mean he is not also a liberal RINO who backs left wing causes (Bush funded Planned Parenthood for eight full years) and funds terrorism.

Thus the definition of the Uniparty, (evil personified).

This is NOT a left vs right world anymore. It’s us versus Anti-God Globalists of the Uniparty.

I have been a Automotive Restoration Specialist for over forty years, and I would like to offer my opinion about this car. While it is a historic vehicle only due to the fact that LHO (Lee Harvey Oswald) drove It, it is beyond being a candidate for restoration. While It could not be called a "Barn-Find Car",, it is most certainly a "Survivor". I am an avid watcher of classic auto auctions. Chief among them being Barrett-Jackson and Mecum auctions. Celebrity-driven cars to not have a higher value than an honestly represented "Survivor", or restored car. Who really cares if Jay Leno, who has driven literally hundreds of cars in the last twenty years, drove this one? The Cachet' might be there, but the value isn't. This Tri-Five Chevy is better left AS-Is, then to be restored and pimped as a car that a murderer drove.

JFK library fire and Boston Marathon bombing: Coincidence OR Conspiracy?

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/15/jfk-library-explosion-boston-bombing_n_3087446.html

After reviewing this story and a few others, it appears to me it is most likely a coincidence. Just because the word “appears” was used by me does not make it true.

1. The JFK library was mostly damaged by smoke

2. There were no injuries at the JFK library

One mention in that story was HVAC equipment as the initiator of that event but I did not see confirmation elsewhere if that was true. It was also hypothesized it could have been a bomb.

We’ll know the truth if any “new” or altered documents magically appear... but it was initially reported on social media to be part of the attack/event.

That’s a picture I’ve never seen before. Looks like someone holding their head in the middle one. Definitely not the president’s limo...guy in the rear car is sitting pretty casual....

The 1961 and 1962 Lincoln Continentals were both designed by Elwood Engel, who replaced noted Chrysler designer Virgil Exner in 1961. Engel also designed my 1964 Plymouth Fury, by the way. You can compare the Grills. They look much the same.

Oswald was a patsy, set up by the secret folks in the SEEEE-EYE- AYE!

Who the shooters actually were has become a secondary issue, IMHO. Who pulled the trigger(s) has become minor to the gist of the assassination of a sitting president. This is especially apparent when it is known that evidence, including eye-witness accounts has been falsified or tampered with to bury the truth. Too much valuable information has been suppressed for far too long.

A reasonable man is left to presume the Agency has been hiding a great deal from the public. If they were not the puppet-masters of the entire bloody show then they must have been incredibly stupid and/or negligent, at best.

In descending order of importance:

1. Who ordered Kennedy’s death?

2. Who conspired to plan the hit?

3. Who collaborated to hide the truth?

4. Who did they utilize to kill the president?
a. Existing Agents
b. Mob hit-men
c. Cubans hell-bent on retaliation
d. Nut-bags lone-wolf haters
e. Russian double agents
f. It doesn’t matter- they planned it; they own it.

I always wondered if Virgil Exner was related to JFK’s “alleged” mistress Judith Exner?
