Signature hood ornaments for the 1988 Trump Golden Series and Trump Executive Series model limousines were products of convicted mobsters, claims the Smoking Gun.
From the Smoking Gun:
The Trump limos offered Italian leather upholstery, wool carpeting, a TV and VCR, a fax machine, a paper shredder, and pop-out writing desks. A cabinet even contained stemware and a Perm-a-Pub push-button liquor dispenser. The stereo system was a Blaupunkt, the two cell phones were from NEC, and the Golden Series model had gold-plated Vogue tires.
And as for the hood ornament, he was a product of the Colombo organized crime family.
The Trump limousines were built by Dillinger Coach Works, a New York firm run by partners John Staluppi and Jack Schwartz. The men were auto industry veterans and each was a convicted felon at the time of the Trump unveiling. Staluppi’s rap sheet included an early-70s conviction for stealing auto parts, while in 1976 a federal jury found Schwartz guilty of extortion. At Dillinger--which was named after the Depression-era gangster--Staluppi oversaw production, while Schwartz headed sales.
The Smoking Gun report is extensive and astonishing.
The real estate magnate is still leading all other GOP candidates for the 2016 U.S. Presidential race in recent polls.
