A Family Friend of mine visitied Sunnylands Ca reciently - and there - they had on display - Gifts given to Walter Annenburg from other famous persons. I had to google all of this but these are pretty high up people in our history and politics...
A Moke- Was a gift from Frank Sinatra - to Walter Annenberg used for running around the estate.

"They used it to move around the estate," Rowe said.
One of the grandchildren also told Rowe that Walter Annenberg, whom they called Pop-pop, would use the vehicle to take them on outings.
"Pop-pop would pile us all in the Mini Moke and take us to Sambo's for hamburgers and milkshakes," a granddaughter told Rowe.
Just Thought quite neat - and WOW what a cool back seat option - Like the Padded Carrier (no seats) to the purist!
