Do you believe the 1963 assassination of John F Kennedy would never have happened if a car similar to the current day the beast existed in the 1960s?

The problem with Kennedy was not that an armored limo couldn't be built in the 60's. The problem was that he insisted in riding around with the top down in the shithole South in the mistaken belief that... "no they wouldn't". Yes they would!

Kennedy’s limousine had a bullet proof bubble top. Kennedy refused to use it. He felt that it was more important to be seen as accessible to the people. His assignation changed all that.

If President Kennedy was inside ha never would have been shot. However, he insisted on a convertible so the public could see him. The rest is history.

With the top up, yes. Even an armored 1962 Continental could have saved him.

Of course it wouldn't have.
