The Presidential limo has always been codenamed Stagecoach (at least as long as I've been around). They're all neat pieces; incredibly fortified, heavy as hell and hard to drive. For the last several years, they've all been Caddies.
Despite GM's comments, I don't see where the windows on the new car are any larger than the windows on the current Stagecoach.
When Gorbachev came here in '87, the Soviets brought their own cars, just as we take ours when we go abroad. I rode in a Russian Zil limousine with Gorbachev's KGB escort. You want to talk about a tank? Wow. When we went around corners I thought we were going to drag the rocker panels on the ground.
