the luxury of an Olds for the motorcade of Jackie Kennedy in Pakistan 1962. She seriously did a LOT of publicity good will visits in so many other countries that no 1st lady has even tried to do since



You can read all about her travels and vacations in the book by her secret service agent, Clint Hill, 
My Travels with Mrs. Kennedy  https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/travels-with-mrs-kennedy_clint-hill_lisa-mccubbin-hill/35615840/item/56079584  I read it, it's a real good look at history BY the guy who was there. Not by someone researching what happened

    My understanding is that Pakistan moved from a state of martial law to a Constitutional form of government in 1962. Jackie was in Pakistan that year, and it's not unreasonable to think she was there to help celebrate the occasion. But parading the very glamorous First Lady of the United States of America about in an eight year old car...geez! That she consented to such an oversight gives us a clue as to what a gracious woman she was. I think I still have a crush on her.
