Convertible police cars as escort vehicles.

I can honestly say I’ve never seen that before.

I don’t know what’s weirder, the fact that there’s a convertible STS, or that the STS convertible is part of the Japanese Emporer’s motorcade.

Those Expeditions and Suburbans *definitely* have retractable machine guns behind the seats, but considering North Korea’s history of trying to whack South Korea’s leaders , can you blame them?

Its a throwback to the old days.

Same for the sidecar motorcycle, allows him to throw the sub-machine gun on his lap up and engage without worrying about structural impediments of the car.
