The car that carried the President when he was assassinated was taken back to DC, rebuilt, and then used in the Presidential fleet for several years. I had no idea!

Good story here by CBS News:

John F. Kennedy's presidential limo served other presidents after assassination - CBS News

Additional info...The limousine that carried the President was searched for evidence after the assassination. It was then cleaned and continued to be used for certain functions. The windshield of the limousine was removed as evidence by the FBI and the Secret Service since it had been hit by the third bullet. The windshield was designated Commission Exhibit (CE) 350 of the Warren Commission and as a Warren Commission Exhibit will remain in the custody of the National Archives and Records Administration. The limousine is currently at the Henry Ford museum in Dearborn Michigan.
