This year marks 10 years since the death of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. Sam was a big car enthusiast, but despite that he never appeared behind the wheel in public. So he owned quite a few unusual steel horses, we present 12 of them to you.
After his death, Michael Jackson left rich collection of cars, which he never wanted to give up during his lifetime. Which 12 vehicles stood out for their uniqueness?
MERCEDES-BENZ 500 SEL
The Mercedes-Benz car was bought by Jackson back in 1985. He used it to drive between his house in the California neighborhood of Encino and a music studio in Los Angeles. In the 1990s, he began using it to transport around Neverland Ranch. After his death, he dedicated it to his aunt, who soon sold it at auction for $100,000.
NEOPLAN TOURING COACH
The singer definitely needed his own bus due to the tiring performance. He welcomed Neoplan to its ranks in 1997. Its interior was furnished with porcelain, gold and granite. A crown was engraved into the parquet floor. The bus was similar to the one above.
VEHICLE PAINTED WITH A PETER PAN PATTERN
Michael Jackson was a big fan of Peter Pan. His obsession was so strong that he decorated his vehicle with an image of him in the role of a famous literary character. He used it to shuttle between the zoo and the amusement park at Neverland Ranch.
GMV HIGH SIERRA 3500
Jackson also used a 1986 GMC High Sierra on his property - a semi-truck that he converted into a real fire truck. Among other things, he equipped it with the inscription "Neverland Fire Department".
1954 CADILLAC FLEETWOOD
A 1954 Cadillac Fleetwood was also part of Jackson's enviable collection. The model, which is still extremely popular among car collectors today, is famous for its old-fashioned look.
HARLEY DAVIDSON POLICE MOTORCYCLE
Jackson didn't just have cars in his collection. He also loved his Harley Davidson police motorcycle from 2001. It was decorated with characteristic red, white and blue lights.
1993 FORD ECONOLINE E150
In addition to the bus, the king of pop also had a smaller van, which he used for media activities. He equipped it with multiple television screens and a console for playing video games. The van was similar to the one above.
BENTLEY ARNAGE RED LABEL TURBO
The interior of Bentley's 2001 Arnage Red Lable was furnished with wood. The car gained its value mainly because it brought to Neverland the stars who collaborated with Jackson on the recording of the song "What More Can I Give?". Some of them, including Beyonce, left their signature in it.
CADILLAC ESCALADE
Jackson owned a fleet of Cadillac Escalade cars, driven by his chauffeurs, who grew to love him especially because they provided a great deal of privacy.
1988 LINCOLN TOWN CAR LIMOUSINE
The 1988 Lincoln Town Car was the first sedan the singer bought. Unlike most other vehicles, it was not known for its abundance of glitz and glamour. Her seats were covered in gray leather.
1988 GMC V JIMMY HALF-TON HIGH SIERRA CLASSIC
Unlike many of the other cars in the collection, this GMC pickup truck was not custom built by Jackson. This in some way explains the fact that the star was never spotted in it.
1999 ROLLS ROYCE SILVER SERAPH LIMOUSINE
When we think of a sedan, the first thing that comes to mind is a disco ball, a red velvet interior and a powerful sound system. The luxury model 1999 Rolls Royce Silver Seraph offered all this while being decorated with 24 carat gold.
