The story goes that because they were exempt from Customs Duty when originally imported instead of the duty being paid at the end of their Embassey duties they were loaded aboard a barge, taken out to deep water and ended their days as visitors to Davy Jones' Locker
Oh, what a depressing thought--but I guess there could be some truth to it. The experimental Chrysler Turbine cars met a terrible fate here so as not to pay duty and other fees so why not a bunch of ordinary used cars there too. Had heard stories of our military doing similar things with planes and jeeps to avoid shipping and to keep them out of circulation when no longer needed so guess it's universal. Thanks for the history of the sticker.
