“Several classic cars were legitimately sold over the years and the US government has forced the owners to return them.”
Were they classic French cars? How did the US government get involved? I imagine General de Gaulle’s limousine for example would be considered a national treasure! :)
These were French cars. They went through the State department using international agreements. I don’t know what criteria they used to decide what to go after. One they saw when the buyer paid a record price for it. He was out car and money because the seller was the legitimate owner.
