Don’t know, but Brezhnev did.

Nixon mentioned his 1950 Olds in the 1952 “Checkers Speech”, but I suppose it’s possible he never drove it again. He returned to the private sector for a time, but lived in NYC. The world may never know.

Yes. In his memoir, RN, he talks about racing around Camp David with Brezhnev. I think he drove, then Brezhnev who Nixon claims scratched out like a demon and drove at speeds that nearly gave him a heart attack.
