A Russian-made limousine presented by Joseph Stalin to North Korean leader Kim Il-sung in 1948 is on display at the War Memorial of Korea in Yongsan, Seoul, Tuesday. Kim drove the car through Seoul to Waegwan in North Gyeongsang Province during the Korean War, but abandoned it as the South Korean army fought their way northward. The car was donated to the memorial by Chi Kap-jong, chairman of the U.N. Korean War Allied Association.
