Cadillac V-8

The reason why it's called the 'Roosevelt'?

Hours after Pearl Harbor was bombed on December 7, 1941, the Secret Service found themselves in a bind.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt was to give his Day of Infamy speech to Congress on Monday, and although the trip from the White House to Capitol Hill was short, agents weren't sure how to transport him safely.

At the time, Federal Law prohibited buying any cars that cost more than $750, so they would have to get clearance from Congress to do that, and nobody had time for that.

One of the Secret Service members, however, discovered that the US Treasury had seized the bulletproof car that mobster Al Capone owned when he was sent to jail in 1931.

They cleaned it, made sure it was running perfectly and had it ready for the President the next day.

Al Capone's 1928 Cadillac V-8 "Al Capone" Town Sedan Became the President's Limo in December 1941.

Mechanics are said to have cleaned and checked each feature of the Caddy well into the night of December 7th , to make sure that it would run properly the next day for the Commander in Chief.

And run properly it did. It had been painted black and green to look identical to Chicago 's police cars at the time.

To top it off, the gangster's 1928 Cadillac Town Sedan had 3,000 pounds of armor and inch-thick bulletproof windows.

It also had a specially installed siren and flashing light hidden behind the grille, along with a police scanner radio.

That's the delux model too. With single spoke steering wheel, funky dash and interior light.

You know . . . I might just get an xBox again. Never would have thought I'd say that.

Are we absolutely sure it's not a 1983 Honda XR 500?

Actually the more I look at it the more I see a Bora with a Merak rear end. I asked folks how fast it went and someone said 185 and that was it . . . I can't think of it as anything other than a Maserati Bora/ Merak thanks to Joe Walsh

Could this be a 1990's Yamaha Virago 750 Trike with springer style front forks and raked chump handlebars?

Really looks more like an Intermeccanica Italia than anything else. Certainly doesn't look like a Ferrari/ Jaguar hybrid. It's just been dumped in Grotti with other Ferrari because there's no place else to put it. In the same way the Citroën SM is dumped in Lampadati despite only sharing the engine with other Maserati and the Citroën Méhari was dumped in Canis without sharing one single bolt with Jeep.

Not entirely sure Ford's 3-window coupe came into being until 1932.

Might I suggest a 1982 Grumman Olson Kurbmaster?
