....every new president of usa gets a new beast (caddy)?

cheers:

I know that the presidential car gets upgraded from time to time.Its been a while since a new platform was used,and this car is definitely been developed with new requirements in mind.

Maybe that's what they want the bad guys to believe lol:.

Quoting from a NY times article a few months ago below

Thus, it is likely that G.M. is building not just one new presidential limousine, but perhaps two or three that can be used as backups or decoys. There will be no way of knowing until the cars are seen together.

Presidential limos would have great appeal to collectors. But the Secret Service has shown no enthusiasm for letting recent White House cars fall into private hands. When the cars are retired, they often disappear, to be destroyed or used in Secret Service training.

The Department of State also uses specialized vehicles, and the agency's disposal methods have been detailed in a document entitled ''Bureau of Diplomatic Security's February 2004 Armored Vehicle Program.'' Methods include burial at sea, explosive demolition, burning, crushing or burial on land controlled by the federal government.

In the same spirit, the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock, Ark., was not given the keys to the 42nd president's 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood, which is displayed there.

''We can dust the outside of the car, but if we needed to get inside it, we would have to contact the regional Secret Service office,'' Christine Mouw, the library curator, said in an interview. ''We've had requests from people to exhibit it with the doors open, but we're told we can't do it for security reasons, which is logical.''

Friends , as Obama's new Limo gets unveiled,

Am watching the live Telecast of the Presidential Elect arriving at the White House, and boy do those Cadillacs smoke away!!!!

EDIT: Or is it the weather? Still a lot of vapour, though!

Osama or Obama.?? confusing huh!!

you are right, they are emitting more smoke than our government buses.

Its the weather,Steer. DC had temperatures of 33F,with the wind chill around 18F.

That's not smoke, its just water.
It's because of the cold temperatures. It's 27*F or -3*C.
