Bad Boys and Their Toys

APRIL 20, 2012

Haiti's pudgy and extravagant former dictator, Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier was a notorious lover of sports cars, including a particular favorite - a garish red Ferrari Testarossa. After fleeing Haiti in 1986 -- in a U.S. Air Force plane reportedly full of sports cars, motorbikes, and his wife's luxury goods -- he ended up on the French Riviera, where the young exile tooled around in a number of fancy rides.
