    Thank you for this informative video. I saw this car today at the museum and knew it belonged to President Marcos. This video completes the story. That historical information piece should be displayed.

    Just a suggestion maybe send this to the Philippines so it can be placed alongside his other car in the Philippine's Presidential Car Museum in Quezon City!

    This is NOT a 1988 560SEL. This would be a 1982-1985 manufactured vehicle that was used as a host car for a 1988 conversion that took place at Mercedes Benz in Germany.

    Is it just me or does the rear window at 1:48 look like someone hit it with a machine gun?

      Ferdinand Marcos served as the Philippine president from 1965-1986 when his reign ended when he was ousted in a relatively bloodless revolution.
      1965-1972 (duly elected)
      1972-1986 (Martial Law era).

    To think of the literally BILLIONS of USD$ that the Marcoses stole from the Filipino people. And now his son is back in power. Will he give back the money ?

      you're out of tune. Truth is Marcoses did not stole money from Filipino. Philippines doesn't have that much money that marcoses have. Marcos have Quadrillion dollars deposited in different bank all over the world. What do you think he can stole from Filipinos? Better wait what marcos son can do to his country.
