As you may or may not know, this years edition of BJ was not without controversy, with lot number 1277 at the center of the storm. This lot was the 1963 Pontiac Bonneville Hearse that has been represented to be the one that transported JFK from Air Force One to Walter Reed Medical, and then onto the Capitol.
