random question
why is the US presidential car a Cadillac?
Why not a Lincoln or any other """"luxury"""" american car?
does GM have some sort of deal with the government regarding the president's car or is it just preference of the last presidents?
thanks

It isn't a Cadillac. Unlike any presidential state car before it, The Beast shares little in common with a standard production car. Its chassis, diesel engine and transmission are based on those used in the Chevrolet Kodiak, a rugged commercial vehicle used as everything from a dump truck to a U-Haul truck.
Some standard trim pieces, like headlamps from an Escalade and tail lights from the now-discontinued STS keep it looking vaguely Cadillac-like.
>President is a nigger
>Niggers like Cadillacs
Is it really that hard?
interesting
but still, its kinda GM based
why isn't it lincoln or something?
is it because ford literally doesn't have any vehicles rugged enough to weld together and make into something similar?
Lincoln sort of lost its bid when Kennedy got his brains splattered.
Lincoln is nothing but Ford rebadges these days, even the new continental is an extended wheelbase Taurus.
Hard to say, it looks like the Presidential Limos have been GMs since at least Reagan. Probably the same reason Air Force One has been Boeing. Gm goes through the trouble to building a vehicle meeting the desired specs and meeting the particulars of the government contract, Ford doesn't bother.
>president bails out GM
>GM makes presidential limo
i wonder
Do 5 sec of research. Gm has been used since 1983. Quite a few years before the bailout.
