TJL 10-30-2005, 12:06 PM No hubcaps, radio, or air conditioning? That's one sweet ride. ;) theshark8777 10-30-2005, 12:36 PM No hubcaps, radio, or air conditioning? That's one sweet ride. ;) And bought by a Baptist. For real, at the minimum he should have gotten hubcaps, eh? I mean he is the Pope!! I thought the pope would have had a limo or something, lol. I think this was the car he had when he was elected Pope. After that, of course, he had the Popemobile. robyrob 10-30-2005, 01:07 PM a 1975 Ford Escort? well at least it was the GL model :( ABlairican Pie 10-30-2005, 06:12 PM No radio, no stereo, no CD player. Well then how did he get to crank up the Slayer and level neighborhood buildings while cruising through?? :confused: Steve M. 10-30-2005, 06:39 PM I thought the pope would have had a limo or something, lol. Well, Father Karol Wojtyla did take a vow of poverty when he becems a preist. I assume his '75 Escort (not to be confused with any of the Escorts sold in North America) was for getting around Cracow during his archbishopric there. Meanwhile, Pope Benedict XVI's 1999 Volkswagen Golf sold recently for $245,000. :D |
