very interesting...note the car and colorVOLUNTARY STATEMENT. Not Under Arrest Form No. 86SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENTCOUNTY OF DALLAS, TEXASBefore me, the undersigned authority, on this the 23rd day of November A.D. 1963 personally appeared Malcolm Summers, Address: 405 E. 12th Street, Age 39, Phone No. WH 6 3558, WK: Self-employed -- Summers Nailing Service.Deposes and says:Yesterday, November 23, 1963, I was standing on the terrace of the small park on Elm Street to watch the President's motorcade. The President's car had just come up in front of me when I heard a shot and saw the President slump down in the car and heard Mrs. Kennedy say, "Oh, no," then a second shot and then I hit the ground as I realized these were shots. Then all of the people started running up the terrace away from the President's car and I got up and started running also, not realizing what had happened. In just a few moments the President's car sped off and everyone was just running around towards the railroad tracks and I knew that they had somebody trapped up there. I imagine I stayed there 15 or 20 minutes and then went over on Houston Street to where I had my truck parked. I had just pulled away from the curb and was headed toward the Houston street viaduct [sic] when an automobile that had 3 men in it pulled away from the curb in a burst of speed, passing me on the right side, which was very dangerous at that point, then got in front of me, and it seemed then as an afterthought, slowed in a big hurry in front of me as though realizing they would be conspicuous in speeding. These three men were of slender build and seemed to be very excited in talking and motioning to each other. They went on across the Houston Street Viaduct and I turned off at Marsalis Street exit [sic] and they continued on going towards Zangs Blvd. They were in a 1961 or 1962 Chevrolet sedan, maroon in color. I [cross-out] don't believe I could identify these men, but I do believe I could identify the automobile if I saw it again. /s/ Malcolm Summers

JA couple points of interest.In 1991 Summers spoke before a Dallas symposium (COPA?)he did not mention the make or color of the car.He said the 3 what I call Mexicans entered the car at the postal annexand speeding off towards Oak Cliff.He said he went down Marsalas which would take him past the Bledsoe's house.then on down to 12th st where he lived, this is only two blocks from the Tippit shooting.and one block from the so called Oswald sighting where the Jacket waas found.He then would have been in the area when Tippitt was killed but that is not mentioned?Puts him right in the middle of everything?What do you think?

Joe...the one thing that stood out to me was the model and color of the car...the same as Files had mentioned...and of course the 3 men as Bob pointed out...the other thing is it says November 23...maybe a typo

Well I don't know, He told a little different story in 1991.the other thing is his close proximity to everything that happened.I see the resemblance to the car Files talkes about but the location is wrong?
