With the many killings going on during the Prohibitionary gang wars, it's no wonder Al Capone had specially armoured vehicles to protect him. ALSO SEE JOE BERGL. Here below is a view of one of these famous Cadillacs.

As if anyone could resist, Mike went in the Cadillac and took some shots, much to the dismay of the staff there. Good job Mike!
