Mourners lined a streets of a North Korean capital Pyongyang today, great and groan as a wake way of  their "Dear Leader' Kim Jong-Il, marched solemnly by a streets. But a extraordinary fact was that the boxy black hearse that crept by a light sleet was a selected Lincoln Continental.
The choice of a U.S.-made oppulance automobile seems odd for a nation that preached a martial self reliance, reviled America and was put on President George W. Bush's Axis of Evil list. Â
Experts during Edmunds.com put a year of a Lincoln during 1976, creation a 35-year-old car comparison than North Korea's 23-year-old new personality Kim Jong-Un.
The choice of an American luxury car for his final float is unchanging with Kim's tastes, notwithstanding his regime's propoganda depicting a U.S. as evil, dangerous and violent, and his story of antagonizing numerous American administrations with threats of fight and chief weapons.
Kim was reported to be a large fan of Hollywood movies, with favorites including a slasher crack "Friday a 13th" and Sylvester Stallone's movement film "Rambo." He presumably owned both in his collection of over 20,000 films, many of that starred his favorite singer Elizabeth Taylor. Kim was also a famous NBA fan.
