Saddam, car guy

Article Abstract:

Saddam Hussein had a huge collection of 60 to 80 cars in his two 40--car garages in the palace and some of them are black Packard, an armored 1970s Cadillac Fleet wood, a 1960s Rolls Royce Silver Shadow and a 1980s Zimmer. Car collector's choice was a cream-white 1935 Mercedes 500k roadster with flamboyant bodywork by Erdmann and Rossi, which was purchased from the King Ghazi of Iraq.
