Rare Footage of JFK Motorcade After Assassination Sells for $137,500

The 8mm home film, capturing the motorcade rushing to the hospital, was discovered in 2010 and auctioned to an anonymous buyer.

The film was recorded by Dale Carpenter Sr. on November 22, 1963, and shows the presidential motorcade speeding towards Parkland Memorial Hospital after John F. Kennedy was shot.
The footage, which lasts about 10 seconds, includes Secret Service Agent Clint Hill standing on the back of the limousine to protect Jacqueline Kennedy.
Carpenter initially missed filming the president's limousine and later captured the motorcade on Interstate 35 after the shots were fired.
The film was found by Carpenter’s grandson, James Gates, in a milk crate in 2010 and was auctioned by RR Auction in Boston.
Historians consider the footage an important addition to the documentation of the events surrounding JFK's assassination.
