JD Tippit's original patrol car, a 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 with the number 10 on the side, was put back into service the same day of the assassination. In fact, another officer drove the car to Tippit's house during the investigation on November 22, 1963. The original patrol car was later involved in an accident and scrapped. A few years ago, the Dallas Police Department restored an exact replica of Tippit's car and placed it in the Dallas Police Museum.
