It is not clear which Dallas Morning News photographer took this image. Tom Dillard, Clint Grant, Joe Laird and Bill Winfrey are the photographers who were present when the photograph was taken. In his account, Clint Grant specifically listed seeing Senator Yarbrough and the hearse at Parkland. However, there is no definitive information to single out Grant as the photographer of this image. - Stephanie Allen-Givens, Collections and Exhibits Manager
The new 1964 Cadillac hearse in this photograph was built by the Miller-Meteor Company for display at a funeral home convention held in Dallas one month prior to the assassination. It was subsequently purchased by Oneal Funeral Home in Dallas, which used it on the day of the assassination to carry President Kennedy's body three miles from Parkland Memorial Hospital back to Dallas Love Field. Oneal continued to use this hearse for several years following the assassination before it was sold to a private collector. Restored to its 1963 appearance, the vehicle has since appeared at auction on several occasions. -- Stephen Fagin, Curator
