    I have to admit never realizing the Thunderbird came in a hardtop convertible, unless this is custom.

    @SCROGGS!!!: My Grandparents had friends who had a Skyliner. One of my earliest car memories (I was maybe 4) is of that car. My Grandfather took me outside to see it in action. I was wonderstruck watching the top go up and back down in the driveway. After they drove off I remember my Grandfather telling my Mom and Grandmother how impractical it was, no trunk, very costly, etc. All I could think was "wow! the top lifted off and went into the trunk!"

    Forget the Shah- we want to know what was in Uday Hussien's garage.

    Anybody have a good list? I know the US military fragged his Lambo LM002 but other than that????

    Still trying to figure out a way that "disposed" makes more sense or is funnier than "deposed".

    Ditto this. I started to go all vocab-Nazi, then decided that "disposed" might actually be more apropos.

    @MikeHerbst: I often fail to get the joke. This may be one of those times.
    I'm definitely giving it the benefit of the doubt.

    If I ever become uber rich, I shall buy an extremley rare 1960s Rolls and be chauffered around. Just look at how majestic it is even after all these years.

    I'm pretty sure they deposed the Shah, not threw him away.

    @dmdukejr: Yes, there are many ways that the joke works as "disposed" but, of course, that wasn't the intention.

    I guess this is only part of the Shah's collection. I seem to remember that he had almost 3000 cars at the time he was deposed.

    A Ford Model A and a Fairlane Skyliner? Sweet.

    I'm always amazed and comforted when I see vintage - and relatively pedestrian - American iron proudly displayed in a foreign country.

    Until I look around and wonder what if anything we've built in the last 20 years would deserve the same affections.

    My dad had a '57 Skyliner. That thing attracted so much attention it wasn't even funny. Wish the IRS didn't make him sell it : (
