Rides of Heads of State (Part 18)

It's amazing how, after checking out hundreds of potential state cars, I can differentiate between the Merc, BMW, and Audi by just looking at a small portion of black sheetmetal. My search now widens to include tourist photos. It's getting really difficult, but I persevere for you, my loyal readers.

114. Venezuela. Despite Hugo's anti-Yanqui attitude, his official ride for his January inauguration is a classic 80s Cadillac Fleetwood. So much for the Bolivarian Revolution.


115. Bosnia and Herzegovina. Here we see two of the three co-presidents in front of their official car, an Audi.


116. Montenegro. And since we are talking about the former Yugoslavia, here is the PM with his stretched A8.


117. Panama. The first of the vacation shots shows the Panamanian prez in his Land Cruiser.


118. Poland. The second vacation photo shows the Polish P.M.'s 7 series.


119. Senegal. Here is President Wade with his very American Ford Expedition.
