Thanks for those links and interior picture, MikeJ. From the interior picture, the car is almost certainly armoured. The windowsill looks to be reinforced and there is a piece of grey velour that is probably overlapping armour for the door. I may be wrong about that, haven't seen too many interior pics of older Cadillacs.

Hey Mirage. The HK government ordered, I believe, 36 Phaetons to replace the aging BMW 7-series in the government fleet. These are the cars with the "AM" license plates. However, I have yet to see any pictures of the Phaetons. Recently, the commissioner of police retired and he left the ceremony in the old 7-series.
This a cool picture page for anyone interested:

The VIPPU car is still the 750il High Security. I wonder if they will replace it with an armoured Phaeton or the 760Li High Security. Most of the rich businesspeople have the 760Li HS.
