This isn’t just a car, It’s a symbol of tone powerful moment in history.
Meet the ocean blue 1957 Cadillac 62 Series — gifted to Ghana’s first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, by US President John F. Kennedy.
But here’s what made it truly extraordinary - it was manufactured by General Motors in the USA, then sent all the way to Bulgaria to be bulletproofed, valued at approximately $69,000. This wasn’t just a gift. It was armored diplomacy.
After Nkrumah’s reign, the car vanished — until it was rediscovered in October 2021 by a former staff driver who had served at the Flagstaff House back in 1957. It was retrieved and now sits at the National Museum of Ghana.
