Mexico City, Mexico, May 27, 2004 / 12:00 am (CNA).- At the conclusion of this week’s general audience, Pope John Paul II received a unique gift: the last Volkswagen “Beetle” made in Mexico.
The blue “bug” was given to the Holy Father by a delegation of autoworkers from the Volkswagen plant in Puebla, Mexico, which stopped producing the model July 30th of last year.
A group of Mexican sales representatives from the German automaker brought the car to the Vatican.
