I stumbled upon this today. I had never seen this picture before, thought I'd share. Looks to be a '64, possibly '63 Superior Crown Sovereign landau.

Pardon my ignorance,did not RFK die in Los Angeles,would this photo have been taken there or Washington and was not a train voyage part of that tragedy,just trying to get the facts.

RFK did indeed die in L.A. and was flown to NYC for services and then taken by train to Washington D.C. for burial at Arlington Cemetery. Noting that the license plate on this car is a military one, one must presume that this photo was taken in Washington D.C. on the way to the cemetery. Looks a lot like the government-owned coach used for the Washington portion of President Hoover's funeral as seen in TPC #149 on page 49. The full story of RFK's funeral can be found in TPC #151 on pages 67-68 along with two photos of the coach used in L.A.
