Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't King Kamehameha the (?) a Shriner as well.

King David Kalakaua, the "Merrie Monarch". He succeeded Lunalilo, who succeeded Kamehameha V. Last king of Hawaii, he was followed by Queen Lili'uokalani. He was a Mason from early on, but became a member of the San Francisco Shrine, apparently just a couple of days before he died (Shriners are a sub-set of the Masons). So, I guess he never got his little car.
