Black Card Holders Just as Likely to own a Hyundai as a Bentley or an Audi


If you are one of American Express’ very special customers, and have US$16.3 million in assets and an annual household income of around US$1.3 million, you may be granted the privilege of one of their black Centurion Cards.

The above is rare, it's a air cooled opposed piston engine like the VW... DB is the symbol on the nose of the car... stands for Duetsch something... I can't recall, but it was a French company and it was made for rally racing.



Above is a Railton

Big corrals of race cars!
