New Chilean President Sebastian Pinera's Ford Galaxie

Boy, those Chileans are thrifty.  At yesterday's inauguration, the newly elected president rode in the same car Chilean leaders have been using since 1970.  And when the Chilean government bought it in 1970, it was already four years old!

A little correction: the car was a gift from the Queen Elizabeth II's during her visit.

This is not correct it was bought for her arrival from a used car dealer.
