BEAUTIFUL CARS


Pictured above is a 1961 Lincoln Continental Convertible (same model and year as the car JFK was assassinated in), and a 1973 Lamborghini Espada S3. I shot the Lamborghini just for fun while I was waiting for another car to arrive. This beautiful Lamborghini spends its days in the bottom floor of a parking garage inside the Royal Palace.

The Lincoln has been a very important car to the Royal Family. It was used on state visits by President Habib Burgiba of Tunis, President Hafez Al Asad of Syria, President Anwar Sadat of Egypt, Chancellor Kurt Waldheim of Austria, the Shah of Iran, and the King of Nepal. It also served to carry His Majesty King Abdullah II on his coronation day. The car remains "in commision" for significant occasions. I wonder if the release of my first car calendar counts as "significant".
