I see Wikipedia mentions that the 2005-2006 versions is the “alternate” POTUS vehicle.

Note the second half of the second sentence in that third paragraph: “...but little of the original vehicle remains.”

The main body of the car is completely hand-built, and mounted on a modified Escalade frame and drivetrain. The hood and front fenders are either modified or re-created to match the larger body. All that’s really left from the DTS are a few trim pieces.
