Jeff,
Fabulous! The vehicle behind the retaining wall, is that whch you call an estate car? If so, it is a Ford Edsel station wagon owned by Rubin Goldstein, also called 'Ruby', who was a good friend of Jack Ruby's. Goldstein owned a pawn shop named Honest Joe's Pawn Shop, where he sold guns, used police uniforms, and other items found in pawn shops. On November 22 before the presidential motorcade arrived at Dealey Plaza, this vehicle was being driven around and about the Plaza and then parked behind the retaining wall next to the pergola. As it was driven around to advertise the pawn shop it was noticed by a few people, one of whom was Jean Hill, a spectator on the south side of Elm Street (opposite to the Grassy Knoll). She noticed that its windows were covered by cardboard, as if to hide what was inside.
A few years ago I initiated a topic on this on the Education Forum which produced a lot of information in the discussion. I will try to find the link for it.
