This is one of the few open-top pontiff-carriers constructed on a modern chassis. GM Mexico built it for Pope John Paul II to use for his trip to give a speech at the Estadio Azteca, a stadium in Mexico City. But he never actually rode in the Cadillac, presumably because of the security concerns of the open design. However, the Pope did bless the car upon that visit.
Oddly, the car's construction was completed by both American limo company Eureka and Ford tuning specialist Roush Performance. The Petersen guesses that GM Mexico simply needed additional technical expertise in the assembly. The papal seat sits on a hydraulic system that can raise or lower the seat by up to 20 inches. The passenger doors open and steps fold down to ease the pope's entrance.
Collection of strange cars
around the world many rich people who collect cars weird, maybebecause of hobby or perhaps most money.
When you’re young you look forward to the day that you turn 18 years old – the age when you can get your driver’s licence and finally drive into the sunset or sunrise if you want or need to. One is normally not worried about your first car. I think the statement “as long as it has four wheels and it goes” applies in this instance. Some of us have probably driven some strange cars over the years, that wouldn’t be surprising at all.
Which one of these cars in this photo collection of strange cars would you like drive? Leave a comment on this post and let us know, we’d like to hear from you. Feedback is appreciated and welcome on the Junk Mail Blog. If you’ve enjoyed this post, feel free to share it with your friends.
