"The Presidential Limo"
"Driving the Presidential limo was Special Agent William R. Greer of the Secret Service. On his right sat Roy H Kellerman who was the Assistant Special Agent in Charge. In the middle jump seats were Governor and Mrs. John Connally. The President was sitting on the right side of the back seat with the First Lady on his left. They were being followed by the Secret Service car. The Presidents instructions were that no agent should walk beside the car to hinder the public view of the President."Photographs6350312.06502413008.255016510027349Photograph (b&w)0E-10Black and white photograph of the Kennedy motorcade approaching Main and Market streets in downtown Dallas.

LimousineMotorcadePhotographsWalker, JimKennedy, JacquelineGreer, William R.Kellerman, RoyConnally, JohnConnally, NellieDallasThis amateur photograph of the Kennedy limousine was taken by Jim Walker, a mail sorter at the Terminal Annex building in Dealey Plaza. Walker took photos of the motorcade from the corner of Main and Market Street. Following the assassination, he also photographed the scene at Dealey Plaza and outside the Texas Theatre in Oak Cliff. Mr. Walker, who donated all of his images to the Museum in 2006, recorded an oral history about his experiences on June 6, 2006. - Stephen Fagin, Associate Curator
