Diplomatic Pagoda
« on: March 27, 2011, 00:50:08 »
Here is a Pagoda on official duty...diplomatic license plate in New York City.

Spoke to the driver. The car is attached to the Consulate or UN Mission of a European country.
(Driver preferred that I not mention the country and asked that part of the license plate be blacked out.)

The car is owned by the diplomat who can park just about anywhere.

Who said a Pagoda can't be diplomatic?

That's my Beige Beauty bringing up the rear.

I notice that it has the non-factory, oversize bumper guards.  Roman Bartl, who used to live here in Michigan, had them on his 230SL. Must have been a surprise to find that car on your travels!
