Cologne Cadillac (#0552)

This is, I believe, a 1963 Cadillac Fleetwood -- a very surprising sight in a German city. When I was stationed in Germany in the late 1960’s we would often see American vehicles that were owned by American service personnel, but seldom Cadillac limousines.

I wondered, when I saw it, if it had originally been brought to Germany as a limousine for American statesmen.
