It's quite obvious that JFK was NOT elevated above Connally.....The photo shows that their shoulders were close to the same height above the side of the Lincoln.....
That's an illusion because the photo captured an oblique view.
A photo taken more side-on removes what an oblique view induces. In the Skaggs photo above (please ignore arrow) we have a better idea as to the height differential (there would be be more of a difference between the head tops of Kennedy and Connally if Kennedy was more upright).
But Connally was closer to the right side of the car
Thanks for pointing that out. The reason we see so much of the Governor's right shoulder is because he's so far inboard. The more oblique the camera angle, the more we can see down into the space between Connally's right shoulder and the car.
If Connally was seated very close or touching the car door interior, then the amount of shoulder seen above the car rail in the Skaggs photo would basically be all we would be able to see, even in oblique angles.
because the rear seat that JFK was sitting on, was narrow and did not extend completely across the full width of the car due to the arm rests and electronic devices built into the sides of the Lincoln....
The back seat was the same width as the front seat, probably a stock model width. The back door was extra thick.
If there had been a bullet fired from the rear at the time this photo was taken.....there's NO WAY the bullet could have exited at JFK's neck tie knot and stuck Connally below his right arm pit....
Of course not. Connally would not have sat inboard of Kennedy.
Hee hee
