A true collector's item. Love the bolt on desert lights. And it was owned by a Kuwaiti prince . . . must have been a poor one . . .

That looks like some of the abominations I saw on the road when I was in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait during Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Mostly Chevy Caprices and huge land yachts like that (gas was .06 per gallon, after all). This car should have been buried in the sand and forgotten...

That brought back a lot of memories...flew both off the boat and from Bahrain during DS/DS. It seemed every other car was a white Chevy Caprice

We had a fleet of 23 Chevy Caprices on our base in Riyadh Saudi Arabia for our project. They were slowly getting whittled down as they were "k-balled" for parts as the money to keep them running was scarce.

Did I also mention the Chevy vans? 'nother story...

OMG They killed that poor car.

If that what the Kuwaiti Princes were doing to their cars then perhaps Saddam should have stayed longer

It's gratifying to know that all the untold billions of dollars we're giving to middle eastern countries is spent on such quality and tasteful artistic choices.
