His Holiness has also had a 600 Pullman,
a '49 Cadillac Model 75, and a Graham-Paige.

It’s for when he visits 3rd world countries with a lot of hard desert, ‘cause everyone knows that a ML outruns a G in open off roading. . . .
That reminds me of an old story...the Pope wants to drive his shiny new ML Popemobile. His driver says “No way, your Holiness.” The pope says “but I really want to drive, and if you don’t let me, I’ll get another driver.” The driver, valuing his job (he works for an Italian family, after all), relents. The pope takes the wheel and for fun the driver gets in back. The Pope is speeding along, enjoying the ride and performance of the ML, when the Pope passes a police officer on a motorcycle. The pursue ensues and once the Pope notices the Police officer, siren a-blazing and lights a-flahsin, the Pope pulls over. The police officer walks up to the window and asks for the Pope’s license, registration, and insurance, while the driver, sitting in the Pontiff’s usual seat looks on in horror. The officer asks the Pope to remain where he is and walks back to his mount. The officer doesn’t even look up at person in the Pope’s seat. The officer gets on the radio and calls dispatch. Upon hearing the dispatcher the officer demands talking with the Captain. After a moment the police Captain comes on the line to ask the problem. The Officer tells the Captain that he is unsure of how to proceed. The Captain wants to know why. The Officer then explains to the Captain that he (the officer) pulled a guy over for driving too fast, and the Officer goes on to say he is afraid because the car is the Popemobile, and because the officer doesn’t know who is sitting in the Pope’s seat, but he tells the Captain whoever it is, has the Pope working as his driver....

Howdy Tracy,
Great story. I sure would like to see that thing bouncing down a dirt track with the pope bouncing around in his fish tank like a lotto ball
