One quick note: it is not that only upper party members can afford cars it is that only upper tier party members get cars.
The cars are specifically given out according to office. For example Foreign Affairs big-wigs may drive blue cars, Military big-wigs may drive white cars, Korean Worker's Party officials all drive red cars etc.
This means that a guard manning a checkpoint can tell a great deal about who is coming into a secure building by just observing an official's car.
The exception are "216" cars, cars under the control of Kim Jong-Il or his staff (the "Dear Leader"'s birthday is Feb. 16 and all these cars thus all have "216" in the license plate).
Thanks Scott! Very interesting information. I guess Henry Ford was wrong when he said "You can have any color car you want, as long as its black."
