Gerald Ford – $75, Ford Coupe

Although reportedly, Ford’s first car was a 1924 Ford coupe, the former President certainly had a liking for automobiles, and he owned a 1969 Mustang and a 1972 Jeep. His first car only cost him $75, which today would be equivalent to $1,1K. However, the presidential car during his time was a Lincoln Continental that would be later used by Carter and Reagan. This was the ride that Ford was using when Sara Jane Moore tried to assassinate him on September 22 of 1975 in San Francisco. This was only 17 days after another assassination attempt that took place in Sacramento. Ford was unscathed in both occasions.
