The cab is currently located at the Pate Museum of Transportation in
Fort Worth, Texas, but the museum is closing at the end of December
2009.

Here is the roof light from the top of the cab:

photos....

If I remember correctly, Pate did not acquire the cab until it was retired
from service. Some of the cabs' parts etc.., may not be original to 11/63
but rather to the time its' service life ended before being bought.

Remember 5 witnesses saw Oswald in, approach, or enter a Rambler in
Dealey. The Penningtons saw the Rambler in OakCliff prior to 1:00 P.M. at
a laundromat with Oswald getting out and making a phone call, then walking
north up Clinton towards the Theater area. One Oswald setting the other
Oswald up. Just like Len Barry said, "1, 2, 3, it's elementary.....like
taking candy from a baby."

When did LHO get into a Rambler before or after boarding the bus (of
which he obtained a transfer ticket)?

That would be up for debate as the Oswald/Rambler sightings were circa
12:40. I believe the Penningtons saw Oswald at the Tidy Lady Laundromat
in the 12:50's before one o'clock. Most people will only accept a one
Oswald involvment and will forced to choose between the modes of potential
transporation. It fits well with me with two Oswalds, in all the modes of
transportation, with one setting the other one up...then, and the days and
weeks prior which are so well documented.

Typical LN'er response when witnesses become inconvenient. How
Unresearchy.

But Marsh is a CT, Curt. You haven't figured that out by now? I'm a LN,
and I agree with him about you. You eagerly swallow the "two Oswalds"
nonsense, which is even sillier than your neologism "Unresearchy."

I think we know Tony more than you as a newbie. He generally says CT
stuff, but will not make any theories about the why's and how's of the
Consiracy which puts him, to real CT'ers, in a dubious state. There are
even those who say that Tony acts like an LNTer in sheep's clothing, and
are considered the same themselves by CT'ers!! Like I said, the evidence
for setting up with a person who looked enough alike Oswald to be
identified as such when one Oswald couldn't possibly be in the same place
is overwhelming. LNT'ers will do something like the WC, and say a
signature looked the same, therefore the theory can't be correct..e.g.
So when you say 'nonsense' a CT'er knows you don't like discussing
evidence as usual.

How empirically nonsensical of you.

Excuse me? I am the only one here naming names and proving exact elements
of the conspiracy. The reason why some kooks dislike me is because I shoot
down their kooky theories. Just because you believe it was a conspiracy
does not mean that you need to fall for every conspiracy theory that comes
along.

Sure, the kooks Like Jack White, Fetzer and his ilk. Because I dare to
prove them wrong.

Where have you been, CJ? Tony Marsh is among the small minority of CTs
who actually do have a theory.
Maybe you should look into this. It seems to fit your criteria for
believability.
The Marsh theory involves Richard Helms as the one who ordered the
assassination and a truly magical disappearing bullet fired from the
"grassy knoll."
Marsh seems strangely convinced of his theory, though he apparently
cannot make up his mind as to whether Oswald fired the shots from the
TSDB.
He has to accept that shots were fired from there, because the HSCA's
finding interpretation of the (laughably bogus) "acoustic evidence"
was predicated on that, and that's all he has in the way of alleged
physical evidence to support a grassy knoll shot.
However, he does not accept the HSCA's conclusion that the supposed
fourth shot from the knoll missed JFK. That's where the exploding
bullet comes in.

I suppose you think people really have seen Elvis after he died too.
All those eye-witnesses just couldn't be wrong!
