I toured the new museum last week or so, it's not there - only pictures. I believe at one time it was in a museum in Plaza de la Cultura but the building was closed for renovations.

That's not it - the car he was travelling in was a pale blue and white 57 Chevy Bel Air and its whereabouts are unknown. A collection of his cars are in the History and Geography Museum in Plaza de la Cultura in SD, where the photo posted above was taken, and in Camp David ranch outside Santiago. But the car in that particular photo may be the one used by his assassins.

That would make more sense, given the condition of the car. Maybe it was stolen or appropriated during the fuzzy time afterwards.

They refurbished it and put it to use as a Publico in Santiago. It is the one with the cracked windshield on the Estrella route.

Trujillo's car was quickly disposed of immediately after his assassination, in order to avoid a forensic examination that would lead to the conclusion that the holes in the automovil were produced by random shooting into the body of the car, while Trujillo''s body laid inside the trunk, already dead.
