The Mercedes probably can be really that 600 Pullmann, which was owned by the Mercedes Benz-company, and which was given to the German Government as a loan, when official visitors were coming. No joke: a lot of countries had 600 in their car-fleet - but West Germany never. Watch the licence plate, when you see pictures of official visits in the 60ies an 70ies. The 600 there always have a licence-plate from Stuttgart, never from Bonn or even a government-plate. -- Last edit: 2007-06-07 01:06:53

The car that he had his last ride in, was always owned by the Ford Motor Company and loaned to the US government for a ridiculous amount. Ford was among the first car companies that realised the huge impact would have to the American public the make of the White house official transporter!
