Interesting Ford Fact

I was just watching Modern Marvels about the different vehicles different presidents have used over the years, and of course the car Kennedy was asassinated in comes up. If you've ever watched the show you know about the little "factoids" they talk about just before commercial breaks, and this one came up-

"Despite it's $200,000 cost in 1961, the Ford Motor Company leased the Kennedy limousine to the White House for only $500 per year."

Just thought was interesting and felt it necessary to share.

That's not bad. Harley Davidson leases their bikes to the local P.D. here for 5.00 a year.
