Yugoslavia to sell Tito's limos


For sale: 13 luxurious limousines and other vehicles that once formed the motorcade of Yugoslavia's late dictator Josip Broz Tito.

The government said Wednesday it will auction the vehicles Feb. 27. Among the top attractions are two custom-made, Mercedes limousines with removable hard tops, produced in 1967 and 1978. The limousines are bulletproof and seat six. The cars, which Tito used for touring the country and parading with visiting statesmen until his death in 1980, start at $508,000 each.
