lol, you aren't the only one who thinks that.

The same thing also happened to Kim Il-sung. The same Lincolns used in Kim Jong-il's funeral were used in his as well.

Why the hell did they import a Chevy Blazer? Lol.

Here's something you may find interesting... A car that got OUT of North Korea!

That was probably the most interesting thing I've read in awhile! It makes me wonder if KJI actually owned that...like many have speculated in that thread.

Planning on posting a bunch of pics in here soon, going to need the help of the pre-war savvy.

EDIT: Added Pics - can post a larger size image of the car if requested. I think I am sure of some of the names but want to be correct before naming the photos.

2000 CVPI · #**589** 05-13-2012, 12:13 PM

The first and last cars are Bugattis (I don't know what models, though), the orange sedan is a 78-83 Chevy Malibu, the red roadsters are MG TCs or TDs, and the white 60s sports car is a Datsun Fairlady, and the car nex
T to it is a Ford Model A.

Thank you. I know some of the Bugattis are Type 35/37. Hopefully someone can chime in with specifics.

I thought some of them looked familiar.
I miss that VSCCA event every year.
With luck I can catch them at Equinox.
Thanks again.

pic #2 is a riley [most likely an imp] with an mg in the foreground...bugs include 35-37 and a brecia...perhaps a t40 in there as well.

Thank you very much, this all seems correct. I believe the the Bugatti with the 'tent' roof is a Type 30, can anyone verify? Also need help with the ones pictured in this post. The red BMW I'm unaware of which model, the tan one next to it is an ARCA? The #2 Bugatti, is that also a Type 37?

dbw · #**595** 05-14-2012, 06:36 PM

bugatti #2 is the leith "scrambling egg"..a well known period arca car..a t37 gp bug with a modified ford "b" engine...giveaway is the exhaust on the wrong side. cool car, very fast and authentic.
