Representative BOGGS. Was that car specially made for the President? Mr. GREER. Yes, sir; it was a specially built car. Representative BOGGS. Was it a Lincoln Continental? Mr. GREER. Yes, sir; a Lincoln Continental. Representative BOGGS. How did it differ from the ordinary Lincoln? Mr. GREER. Well, Lincoln doesn't make a seven-passenger car, and this was a seven-passenger car. The back seat on this car would raise 8 inches. It was electric, and you could lift, you could raise, the seat up 8 inches from the ground, from the floorboards. It had a little step that went with it. The President could raise it up and down himself. He had a button alongside that would cause it to go up and down when the top wasn't down. It wouldn't go up and down when the top was down. But when it was off he could raise it up or down, and it would be above the other seat. Mr. SPECTER. Do you know whether the seat was actually raised at the time of the assassination? Mr. GREER. No, sir; I couldn't say right off. I don't believe it was, but I wouldn't know. Mr. SPECTER. Going back to the shots themselves, Mr. Greer, do you have any reaction as to the direction from which the shots came? Mr. GREER. They sounded like they were behind me, to the right rear of me. Mr. SPECTER. Would that be as to all three shots? Mr. GREER. Yes, sir. They sounded, everything sounded, behind me, to me. That was my thought, train of thought, that they were behind me. Mr. SPECTER. Have you ever had any reaction or thought at any time since the assassination that the shots came from the front of the car? Mr. GREER. No, sir; I had never even the least thought that they could come. There was no thought in my mind other than that they were behind me. Mr. SPECTER. Yes, sir. The CHAIRMAN. Congressman Boggs, are there any questions you would like to ask the agent? Representative BOGGS. I don't think so, Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. Congressman Ford. Representative FORD. Did you ever have any thought there were more than three shots? Mr. GREER. No, sir; I never did. Representative FORD. Did you positively identify the fact that there were one, two, three, or was there one, and then a delay, and then a flurry? Mr. GREER. To the best of my recollection, Congressman, was that the last two were closer together than the first one. It seemed like the first one, and then there was, you know, bang, bang, just right behind it almost. The two seemed, the last two seemed, closer to me than the other. Representative BOGGS. Did you speed up after you heard the first shot? Mr. GREER. After I heard the second. The first one didn't sink into me, didn't give me the thought that it was a shot. I thought it was the backfire of a motorcycle. But when I heard the second one and glanced over my shoulder, I knew something was wrong then. I didn't know how bad anyone was injured or anything, but I knew there was something wrong, and right away after the second one I accelerated as fast as I could.
