The vintage Cadillac was Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah’s first official vehicle.
It was manufactured by General Motors in the USA but was sent to Bulgaria for Bulletproofing and was worth about US$ 69000.
After Nkrumah’s reign there was no trace of the vehicle, however, reports indicate that it was later discovered in October 2021 by a former staff driver; Johnny Botchway, who had served at the Flagstaff House in 1957.
The reports further indicate that the vehicle was initially found in Togo with several bullet marks on the windshield and all other windows of the vehicle.
It was later conveyed to Nkawkaw where it was discovered by Mr Botchway, who subsequently reported the incident to the Ghana Museums and Monuments Board (GMMB).
