1976 Lincoln.
Here, they wouldn't even pick a body from the morgue with that thing.

and now buried.

Thanks! I had seen the pictures all over the place and none of them identified the car. I think that's one of the more important parts of the story. The best car they have in North Korea is a 1976 Lincoln. Sure, it was nice in its day, and this one looks like it's in good shape. But wtf? They hate the USA, and they are carrying the dude around on the roof of an old American car? Although I suppose the rank and file over there doesn't know it's American.

I figured they would have some new Chinese car or something. BYD of China apparently provides cars to the NK police, why not a large sedan? Maybe this was his limo and they just put him on the roof. You would think he could afford a newer limo that wasn't made by his arch enemy.

I wonder if it's the same car that carried his father.

I don't know nuthin' about the koreans. So, this dead guy is Kim Jong Il, and his son is Kim Jong Un...who was dad/granddad? Kim Jong Eh?

Oh. Eh. :lol:

Si

The Limo looks very much like McGarret's car. An old and well perserved Lincoln (Ford) Continential but with a classic Pennsylvania front license plate.

Or look for the truth elsewhere.;)

The NorKors probably have been told that Kim not only invented the internal combustion engine but also built that car to his own design out of his own navel fluff.

yebbut, is he still dead?

What do you mean???? He didn't????? Srsly, he didn't?????

Really Joe? Do you seriously think that a car can be made out of navel fluff. Jeeez.

The car is Kim Il Jong's spawn, when he mated with a Big Wheel.

huh.

The HuffPO is reporting that North Korean officials are checking out to see if anyone's grief seemed - less than 'sincere' - at the Dear Leaders Passing and IF IT DID SEEM FAKE you get 6 months in a labor camp.

harsh.
