DALLAS – The Checker cab once known as Lee Harvey Oswald’s getaway car is headed to auction.
Cab 36 is part of the collection that will go up for sale today at the defunct Pate Museum of Transportation in Cresson near Fort Worth.
RM Auctions car specialist Donnie Gould estimates the cab will fetch around US$30 000 (BDS$60 000) – rather more than the nickel Oswald paid for his cab fare on November 22, 1963, just moments after President John F. Kennedy was fatally shot. (AP)
