"With a phalanx of motorcycle escorts and police cars, and with Secret Service agents standing on its hydraulic steps, the Lincoln carried the president around Washington and the world like a pharaoh on a golden litter borne by an army of attendants. Five months and 12 days later, it would carry him through the streets of Dallas."

Excerpted from Two Days in June: John F. Kennedy and the 48 Hours that Made History by Andrew Cohen.
