Walt Brown noticed a story from the Hudson Valley Press (see link below). Here is an excerpt of the piece (emphasis is mine):
A tip was received from a rooming house landlady who said her tenant, Thomas Arthur Vallee, was threatening the president and arranged to have off from work the next day. Chicago police and the Secret Service stopped a car driven by former U.S. Marine Vallee for a headlight that was out. The ticket is still sealed as classified at the national archives. Vallee's car was found to contain explosives an M-1 Rifle and 3000 round of ammunition. Vallee was briefly detained and released. Simultaneously the SS agents had surveillance on two of the alleged Cuban Hitmen who managed to slip away. The President's trip was cancelled.
The license plate and registration on the 1962 Ford Falcon that Vallee was driving on November 1st in Chicago was New York Registration License plate # 311-ORF and was registered in the name of Lee Harvey Oswald. This is 21 days prior to President Kennedy's assassination and the world knowing the name Oswald.
Anyone remember another reference to a 1962 Ford Falcon, this time in Dallas? Here's the link to the Hudson Valley Press article:
Are you referring to the car mistakenly called a "Falcon" by reporter TF White? It was actually a Plymouth, belonged to Mathers. Different plates. See the discusion on the previous thread (Burroughs?).

A white Ford Falcon. I think Jim is mixing up the arrest in Long Island where Vallee was stalking ........ He only had a hunting knife and 750 rounds of ammunition when pulled over by the CIA cops in Chicago.
White worked as a mechanic at Mack Pate's Garage in Dallas. Apparently, he gave info to Wes Wise, then working as a reporter at KRLD-TV.
Anyway, I think White told authorities that he saw the Oswald lookalike in a two-tone blue Plymouth. When this car was quickly traced to Carl Mather (exposing all kinds of government intel connections) the FBI changed the car to a red Ford Falcon. With this sleight-of-hand accomplished, the FBI could now interview Mrs. Mather, who could honestly say she and Carl had never owned a red car.
Case closed!
In the HSCA report that follows below the FBI report, notice that the Oswald lookalike White saw was wearing a white T-shirt, just like the Oswald in a white T-shirt seen by all those witnesses on assassination day. This is the Oswald who had a valid Texas drivers license, was seen driving cars by a dozen or more witnesses, and whose returned drivers license was seen by Aletha Frair and all those other people at the Texas Department of Public Safety. (See http://harveyandlee.net/Driving/Drive.htm)
In the above post, I may not have emphasized the evidence that the FBI altered the description of the car containing a white-shirted Oswald lookalike identified by T.F. White.
If you read the HSCA report (the one below the FBI report) it is clear that the license number White wrote down led directly to a car driven by a Collins Radio employee and close friend of J.D. Tippit, obviously Carl Mather. This report indicates that White, a car mechanic who should know cars, DID NOT misidentify Mather's car; THE FBI DID! It was done so the Mathers could deny ever owning a red Ford Falcon, or any red car.

You may wish to read "Act of Treason" by Mark North (1991) in which North's research indicates that Hoover knew of the Marcello contract on Kennedy's life, and deliberately failed to act on the information, and in fact failed to forward pertinent information to the Justice Department.. Of course we know that the FBI's part in this affair amounted to a great deal more after the shooting; North has evidence of the FBI tampering with paper records, and we know from Bob P. that the FBI ballistics guys lied under oath to the WC, plus the surreptitious transfer of evidence to the FBI and back to Dallas PD, etc.

Does it strike anyone as interesting that when some lying FBI agent (more likely a lying FBI official) decided to change to a different car Carl Mather's two-tone blue Plymouth that T.F. White said an Oswald lookalike was driving in Dallas Nov. 22, the car chosen for the FBI's switcheroo just happened to be a Ford Falcon...
... just like the 1962 Ford Falcon loaded for war and registered to "Lee Harvey Oswald" involved in the Chicago plot to assassinate JFK??? It would be easy enough for a spectator to be off by one year on the same make, model, car, no?
