The Complete History of the Presidential State Car

The X-100 Continued Service

Some people may be surprised to hear that future leaders continued to use the X-100 after Kennedy’s memorably last venture in it. With such a large investment and a highly customized vehicle, however, this makes sense. The following leaders did not have superstitions either and the improvements ensured their safety. The auto did not fully retire from service until 1977. As such, it occasionally served Johnson, Nixon, followed by Ford, and finally Carter. Today, you can find it in Dearborn, Michigan, at the Henry Ford museum.
