President Kennedy’s limousine was equipped with a removable Plexiglass “bubble top” that was designed to protect the President from rain and snow while allowing crowds to see him.
The top was removed when rain clouds cleared in Dallas.
Contrary to popular belief, this bubble top was not bulletproof. However, it would be harder for an assassin to get a clear view, or said assassin may have decided not to attempt it, thinking the top was bulletproof. In addition, a bullet might be deflected, or the shattering top might have warned the President to duck.
John F. Kennedy might have survived.
