Cars That Mobsters Drove

John Gotti - 1980 Lincoln Continental/ Mercedes Benz W126 560SEL
Eddie Lino - Mercedes Benz W126 560SEL
Carmine Galante - 1977 Lincoln Continental
Paul Castellano - 1985 Lincoln Town Car
Bobby Boriello - 1991 Lincoln Town Car
Louie Milito - 1986 Lincoln Town Car
Anthony Casso - Lincoln Town Car
Roy Demeo - 1977 Cadillac Coupe DeVille
Jimmy The Gent Burke - 1977 Buick LaSabre
Vittorio (Vic) Amuso 1990 Buick Park Avenue
Frank DeCicco - 1985 Buick Electra
Joey Leo - 2006 Lincoln Zephyr
Raymond (Long John) Martorano - 2001 Lincoln Town Car

They love their Lincoln's! When Castellano got shot I think that car he got shot outside was actually Bilotti's Lincoln.

Eddie Lino got killed in his as did Tony Mirra.
Castellano and Billoti got killed as they got out of theirs
Frank DeCicco got killed by his car when it blew up
Demeo ended up in the trunk of his (although he was killed eleswhere).
Casso got shot and wounded in his!

Perhaps mobsters should take the bus - its safer!!!

LOL

Guess they still like Lincolns

LMAO, ! Or better yet how about the Gaultlet with Clint Eastwood for a driver ! Heck if we are gonna go bus, lets have some fun ! But I want some armory in that honker ! They want to party let's give them one ! I just love a firefight ! Reminds me of the 4th of July !

Just Sayen ! Pop, Zing, Zang, Bom, Ya hit, NO, ya got one ! LOL !

is Ray Demeo related to Roy Demeo?

Angelo Bruno had a cheverolet car.

love all these huge engine cars wish england wasnt so expensive on petrol. a lincoln would bankrupt me lol

I use to have a 94 lincon coupe witg 5.0 liter engine that was a fast car and a gashog

Barney drove a Worth Construction, Buick Regal for years. Ugly silver car. Typical of him.

I think John gotti jr. drove that bungalow bar ice cream truck that tony soprano said his father outbid him on !!

"You'll often see Genovese guys driving Buicks rather than Cadillacs." - Joe Coffey

Joke Coffey, tyoical NYC cop. Loves the camera! When its off he chased down hookers for BJ's.

Junior is flashy. Drove a 745i then a Escalade, hes in a new Caddy Cts now.

After Long John got whacked Citypaper did an article on him and how his friends were creeped out to buy that car

Nice country..without his father he'd be driving one of those hippie buses from the 60's !!

No hed be fine in the legit life without his father. Hes not some bumbling idiot, hes just a bad gangster.

This doesn't say flashy. Sorry. This is anyone in Jersey that can lease a vehicle.

Its flashy when u own them all at once

The house doesnt help the "im not a gangster" image either.....

I mean its flashy because hes John Gotti JR. I know people that have bigger fleets there not considered flashy they may have an interest in a company that has mutiple sites or own real estate that they may have a car at. Skinny you talk of the Perna's the one idiot drove a new infinati and lived in a nice house and only reported what 60-70G's of his and wifes income ...

Yeah Joe Coffey got restless sitting in those surveillance vans I think he was spotted at alotta those smut houses in Times Square

Im just saying bc his name was brought up. I know a guy who drives a bright yellow late 90s ferrari but no one here would kno his name.... John Perna had the Infiniti if i remember right. Joe drives a big ass brand new black on black escalade.

Codename LCN1987 drives a Prius!

You hear anything about what he's doing for a living now ??

lol

Movies, Restaurants, and Real Estate.

When he isn't a guest of the state, Ligambi drives a black Cadillac STS. Definitely not a factor in me getting mine but ironically we drive the same car.

I would guess the reason alot of mob guys drive Chrysler, Cadillac, Lincoln is bc many are officially and technically "union employees". Union employees and supporters of our Big Three wouldn't be caught dead in a foreign car. In fact, my old man has told me some pretty histerical stories about what happens to Hondas, Toyotas, Nissans and Volkswagons left parked on union hall parking lots.

didnt richie martino of the gambinos have a bentley or a rolls royce and a mercedes? read it somewhere in an article about when they were doing their internet schemes, him and tore..
jackie the nose had a jaguar, courtesy of hal irving

Didn't you buy it at a government auction?

Was there any particular dealer catering to these gentlemen, one who offered favorable considerations to the image conscious gangster about town? (and please don't tell me they shook down Dollar-Down Mid-Town motors...)

Yes, absolutely.

Many had great investments in the local car dealerships.

I was following this thread and was waiting to see if someone would ask of or add that fact.

Nice.

There's a funny scene near the beginning of the movie,"Donnie Brasco," where the wiseguys are loudly debating the virtues of Cad vs. Lincoln.

Meanwhile, Tony "Ducks" Corallo had a Jag and Carmine "The Snake" drove a Rolls Royce. A photo of Tony Mirra dead in his car--looks like a Volvo. You'd think these guys would at least show some loyalty to the country they stole from.

Investments?? Mind elaborating?

I know for a fact that the Pittsburgh Crew under John LaRocca drove Buicks and Oldsmobiles. They thought the feds were looking for them driving Cadllacs. So much for that ;-)

He means they're good for washing that ill gotten cash you can't prove receipts for.



As for mob guys driving Jap and Kraut mobiles: Gotti used to say he'd rather bodies be dumped in Hondas and Toyotas than Fords and Chevrolets. ...the blatant stupidity of that man never ceases to amaze me.

If I had to guess, I'd still have to say that the 2 most common cars for made guys these days are the Cadillac DTS and the Lincoln Town Car.
