time to upgrade the presidential limousine?
Presidential Upgrades For The Future
Whether you feel like it is time to upgrade or not, it is happening. 2009 got to see the new for that time, presidential limo which has carried President Obama to his first inauguration. It’s not known whether the new version will arrive in time for the swearing in of POTUS 45, or whether the newly elected leader of the free world will have to suffer the indignity of a hand-me-down company car while he or she awaits delivery of the brand new limousine.
The Beast Is Here
As the current presidential limousine, this limousine will also be provided by General Motors. This new and upcoming limousine is definitely different from the past limousines that past presidents have gotten into. Some of the unique feature include it’s bulletproof and bombproof shell, not to mention much many other security features the Secret Service doesn’t want to talk about. Today’s limo, nicknamed The Beast, attempts to disguise its truck underpinnings with a design that borrows from the now discontinued Cadillac DTS sedan, but the Beast 2.0 ups the style quotient with a front-end treatment taken from the latest Escalade, even if it still shows a vestigial trunk.
