Pope Francis will wave from a Popemobile created from a Jeep Wrangler, the Vatican has announced. This is not the first time the pontiff has used a Jeep—a four-door Wrangler (seen above) served papal duty on the Pope’s trip to Ecuador in July.

The exact configuration of the U.S. Popemobile has not been announced, but the version used in South America had a glass front and roof but was open on the sides. The pontiff has said that he dislikes a fully enclosed Popemobile; he’s more of a wind-in-the-vestments kind of guy.
