Which is another reason that to this day I still can't believe the president of the U.S. was allowed to ride through a city, any city, in an open convertible. Seems as if the rest of the world learned their lesson on that back in 1914 with Archduke Ferdinand.
A secret serviceman was supposed to be standing on rear of the car (bumper or step) but allegedly Kennedy waved him off as he wanted to be seen by as many as possible.
That one little decision.......
