While the Virgin of Guadalupe probably graced a number of dashboards in the Mexican Road Race, it's highly doubtful that Madonna will ever appear on the decklid of any of its competitors, especially since it went tits-up after 1954 — four years before Madge was born. However, Eva Peron did grace the trunk of one Argentine entry; a two-door hardtop Lincoln, a replica of which reader Marc submitted to us. Our friend Suz owns a '54 Capri she's convinced she wants to turn into a sled. We keep telling her she needs to build a Panamericana replica, as the Lincolns were ass-whuppers in the short-lived-yet legendary competition. So far, no dice. Maybe this will convince her.
