Our Father, hallowed be your Fiat ...

Pope John (Italian: Giovanni) the 23rd, whose real name was Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, was elected as the 261st pope on October 28, 1958, succeeding Pius the 7th.
On March 2, 1959, he inaugurated his new Popemobile, the Fiat 2100 Allestimento "Speziale", whereupon the whole of Turin shouted: "Habemus Papamobil!"
This car will be on sale at the Retro-Classic in Stuttgart. The question is now rightly asked: if Steve McQueen's nine-eleven fetches more than a million, how much is the holy Fiat worth?
After all, the Roman Catholic leader has probably sat in the Fiat more often than Steve McQueen in his Porsche ...
Whether the consecrated Fiat will protect you from parking and speeding fines forever would probably have to be tested before you buy it.
... and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from all buses, Amen!
