John Paul II's Ford sells for $690,000

From World Magazine
A light blue 1975 Ford Escort GL once owned by Pope John Paul II sold for $690,000 Saturday to a Houston multimillionaire who said he plans to put it in a museum he wants to build in his hometown.

"To me, it's a piece of history," said John O'Quinn, 62, a Baptist who said he has a collection of about 600 vehicles. "What a great human being Pope John Paul was."

Question. If John Paul II is eventually canonized, as many expect, does this car become a relic of the saint? 500 years from now, will we have a shrine to some 21st century saint’s I-Pod? This takes a little getting used to.
