I recall years back i saw a poster that listed dozens of eerie similartites between pres Lincoln and Pres Kennedy, usually involving shared names- the only one I can think of offhand is Kennedy was killed while driving in a Lincoln...Lincoln was killed in Ford's Theatre (Ford/Lincoln)
Does anyone know of any of the weird similarities between these 2 assinated presidents?

You could create as many as you wanted, and a great many would be factual. Not saying that there aren't some weird similarities but understand those are fewer than you think.
Like the one you point out. Ford allowed the presidents to use the Lincoln Town cars, as a marketing tool. If the car is good enough for the president, then it's got to be good enough for me. So, of course Kennedy would be in one. You'll never see an American President in a Toyota on American Soil.
Being shot from a warehouse, where is he supposed to shoot from? A more frequented building? Of course, he chose a warehouse, they are always empty (no witnesses). And, mind you the term "warehouse" is used very loosely, it was a book depository.
Oswald, didn't run to a theater, he was picked up walking along a street after the shooting. He may have ran by a theater, but didn't go in, he didn't have time to get to where he is was picked up a short time after the shooting.
Both assasins were killed before receiving a fair trial.

Well for one thing, both alleged assassins of Presidents Lincoln and Kennedy (neither living long enough to reach trial) were addressed by three names. Of those three names John Wilkes Booth & Lee Harvey Oswald have the same number of letters in their names. President Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy and had asked him not to got to the theatre that night. Presiden't Kennedy's secretary was named Lincoln and she had asked him not to go to Dallas. Bot had lost a Vice Presidential nomination 100 years apart. Lincoln lost on 1856 and Kennedy in 1956. Not to mention that Lincoln was nominated to Congress in 1846, and Kennedy was nominated to congress in 1946. Both MaryTodd and Jackie lost a child that inutero while in the White House. Both had noted concerns with civil rights, and both were allegedly killed by southerners. Only to both be replaced by southerns, with the last name Johnson, that were born 100 years apart. Andrew in 1808, and Lyndon in 1908.
Also Lincoln was shot at Ford Theatre. Kennedy was shot in a Lincoln, which is made by Ford.
There are bunch of these things online, if you are interested in finding more I'm sure if you plug this question in Google it will give you more similarites than you can shake a stick at. :-)

A week before he was killed Lincoln was in Monroe Maryland. A week before he was killed Kennedy was in Marilyn Monroe.
