| I'd be even more interested to find the internal design and curtains of Bill Clinton's car. By the way did he have an ashtray for his cigar?  |

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.'' Last edited by srishiva : 16th January 2009 at 23:24. | |
