Chiang Kai-Shek (fourth from left), a Chinese war lord who was elected President of China in November 1928 obviously preferred Packards.
The below shown pictures were taken 1943 in India. Both Clippers seem to be equipped with flagstaffs. source: m.tiexue.net Click to enlarge! Attach file:  (51.45 KB) (41.84 KB) (43.76 KB)

Well, that's not the best picture quality, I admit, but it is the thought that counts. On display in Amman is one of many cars of Hussein of Jordan.

In 1940 His Majesty Farouk I, by the grace of God, King of Egypt and the Sudan, Sovereign of Nubia, of Kordofan and of Darfur drove ... what do you think?
Years later a couple of dozen Clippers (and other cars) parked in his garage. sources pic #1 - ajdadalarab.com, taken in front of the Abdeen Palace in Cairo, -> an interior shot pic #2 - sharkiatoday.com Click to enlarge! Attach file: (56.88 KB) (89.85 KB)

I must admit to be no shoe expert like you are.

Hi Guscha
To see FDR apparently standing is all the more remarkable when one knows he did so by shear force of will as well as assistance by the aid of another. This photograph of FDR being fitted with leg braces was never released for the public to see in that era. He's riding in a Duesenberg J Tourster phaeton by Derham. Steve Attach file: (106.84 KB)

Steve (58L8134), thanks for the valuable input. Nowadays even his braces are part of exhibitions.

Guscha,
I posted this on the Packard Club website under the media tab. Thought I would post it here as well. https://vimeo.com/158415651
