a 58 Bentley that Saddam Hussein admired, and confiscated, has made it's way to Michigan to get restored

The Bentley left England when purchased by Iraqi Prince Abd al-llah, but he only had a few months to enjoy it; he was killed in the 1958 Iraqi coup.

 Ten years later the car was acquired by Baghdad businessman named Janabi, who painted it white to use for his son’s wedding. The car then appeared in the 1992 Iraqi film King Ghazi, which garnered the attention of dictator Saddam Hussein.

Saddam allegedly first offered to buy the car, but after several refusals simply took the Bentley for his own collection and applied a silver and blue two-tone paint. Janabi still had the ownership documents when Saddam was ousted, and recovered the car... after some bullets vented the fender

Jim George purchased the tattered remains in 2015 and shipped them to Florida for a 17-month stay at Richard Gorman’s Vantage Motor Works in North Miami.

To commence its second life in style, the car appeared at the 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
