TITO's cars and presidential motorcade:
Josip Broz Tito owned many automobiles, 85 to be precise, but only
handful
were used for transporting VIPs.
For his personal usage and during visits of other dictators, presidents, kings and VIPs Tito
had in his service 5 Mercedes 600 Pullman and 2 Rolls Royce's: Silver Wraith and Phantom V.
Rolls Royce's were used until 1972 which were replaced with Pullmans, as they were bought and transported to Yugoslavia in 1970's.
Presidential motorcade consisted of many Mercs and BMWs motorcycles in escort, and for transporting VIPs were used one or two Pullmans; as shown on last photo which represents
Presidential
motorcade on move -
only two cars have this flags
.

Item:
As described above, this set of car flags are very rare and unique, and considering how many cars were used for VIP transport my conclusion is that no more than ten to dozen of this flags were made!
Last two photos represent their usage, and confirm
authenticity.
Flags are in excellent condition, as shown on photos, two micro holes are visible, but considering age and usage it is perfect condition.
Size of flags are : 41cm x 21cm
