Fit for a king


This car reminds me of the "Excalibur" or perhaps one of those fancy cars from the 20's (perhaps a Duisburg?).  One thing I don't recall seeing was a luxury car like this with a tandem axle in the rear.  So, this car is an unanswered puzzle to me.  If anyone knows its identity, please contact me as I obviously need to be educated.  One thing is for sure, its opulent and obviously cost a great deal of money.  When I think of wealth, I naturally think of Solomon and although he many things, for some reason, his magnificent throne comes to mind...

WEB: I Kings Chapter 10

[18] Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the finest gold. [19] There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round behind; and there were stays on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the stays. [20] Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps: there was nothing like it made in any kingdom.

Can you imagine the impression such a royal seat would make?  It must have been worth an enormous amount of money.  Such a fantastic it must have been to see Solomon on his throne; so awe inspiring that I can't even imagine sitting on it.  But, I can imagine sitting in that car wearing the Lion ring I usually wear and that will have to be good enough.
