Well it has finally made its debut after doing many secret test on a secret test grounds but the new presidential limo has arrived.
President Barack Obama walking down the Parade Route with his wife Michelle.
A side view of the new Cadillac. At first glance it looks like all three Cadillacs are new but telling by the led headlights that flash. The other Cadillacs don’t have that feature as far as I can tell.
The front license plate says USA 1.
I hated Bush’s limo because it looked all wonky in proportion. The windows were way too tall for the body. It looked like a standard car with a bubble top added to it. When I saw the spy shots of Barack’s I wasn’t too sure it was any better. But seeing it today in the parade, it looked awesome! Clearly this was built from the ground up to be THE presidential limousine. At first glance, it looks like a standard car because its windows are in proportion to its body, but when you see the secret service next to it, you can tell how darn tall and big the Beast is, (They can’t even see over it!) Its wide, its long and its tall. The grill is simple, and strong and has one hell of a large Caddy emblem smack dab in the middle. Add in the super-wide wheel well flares and you have one heck of a buff looking limo. Great job GM!
Here is a short article from autoblog with some great shots of the Beast in action. You get a really good idea of how HUGE the limo is:
