It was the world's first stainless-steel sleeper-trailer bus, built in Philadelphia by E. G. Budd Manufacturing Co. for the 600-mile run between Bagdad and Damascus.

Ailing of tuberculosis, he was visited often by Manila's affable, Irish-born Archbishop O'Doherty. Finally Quezon abjured Freemasonry, had a chapel built in his house, became to all intents a good Catholic and took to playing golf with the Archbishop on Manila's Wack Wack links.
