The evidence for an Oswald test driving a car at the Downtown Lincoln Mercury dealership is pretty good, although there was some disagreement about whether it happened on Saturday, November 2, or the following Saturday. Salesmen Eugene Wilson and Albert Bogard both said it happened, as did assistant manager Frank Pizzo, AND OTHERS (see Earl Golz article below).
Every auto dealer I've ever visited required seeing a valid drivers license before allowing me to test drive a car, but American-born Lee Oswald clearly had a Texas drivers license, as the Garrison investigation discovered. The incident was part of the well-known efforts to frame HARVEY Oswald for the assassination. According to the witnesses, Oswald drove 70 mph on wet pavement and insisted he'd be coming into big money soon! Oswald indicated he might be treated better in Russia. The set-up was never particularly subtle!
