The United States Secret Service has started the process to begin to build the next generation presidential limousine with the posting of a contract proposal on the FedBizOpps.gov site for companies seeking to do business with the federal government. The contract will be awarded by the Dept. of Homeland Security by August 29th of this year and the new armored limo, no doubt equipped with the latest and highest tech communications and security gizmos, is planned to go into service in 2017, after Mr. Obama’s replacement takes office.

I propose he pay for and drive a Chevy Volt with one DC policeman carrying a five shot revolver.
That should suffice.
Oh yea- convertible if possible.

I think “the Beast” is very appropriate for the president/anti-christ.

Roosevelt must have gotten it out of storage.
In 1909, US President William Howard Taft ordered two Pierce-Arrows (and two White Model M Tourers) to be used for state occasions, the first official cars of the White House.

I’d say a ‘horseless carriage’, but for zero, that’d only be half correct.

Five shot, but only one bullet and that one in his pocket with a biometeric lock on it.

LOL that armor is heavy.
I worked on the powertrain of the current one.
It’s a 26,000 pound rated truck chassis with a simulated Cadillac body.
