From the early days of automobiles to high tech, prestigious, tank-like vehicles, the Presidential State Car has always been an important part of the Chief of Staff’s entourage - and some of those rides have been Cadillac based cars.

Put it this way, if you’re gonna be getting busy in the backseat with the first lady you know you want to do it in style.  Better yet, if you’re going to be getting head from one of the younger women in your administration, you can be damned straight you’d want a smooth ride.

And Cadillacs?  You could be going 70 mph and think you were going 10.  Now that’s my idea of a comfortable ride.  But let’s take a look at 6 Cadillacs that Presidents have pimped over the years.

1928 Cadillac Town Car - Calvin Coolidge

Any similarities with mobsters here?  Coolidge was the first President to pick a Cadillac.  Oddly enough he had an affinity for the same car Al Capone was driven around in.

1953 Eldorado - Dwight D. Eisenhower

Eisenhower always had a love for American Cars and why not choose a caddy?  Dwight was the first President to go with a drop top model.  This car rules.  Unfortunately due to the Kennedy assassination, the drop top will more than likely never exist again as a Presidential car.

1983 Cadillac Fleetwood - Ronald Reagan

Good old Ronnie Reagan, former Hollywood heart throb and 41st President of the United States, switched from Lincoln limos to the now famous Cadillac Fleetwood. This type of stretch Caddy became so popular with its many appearances on TV shows, GM produced a non-armored version for sale to the general public

Presidential Series Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham - Bill Clinton

Do I even have to mention Monica here?  So much room for the knees!

2001 Cadillac Deville & 2005 DTS - George W. Bush

Such a smart looking car for such a dumb guy riding in it.

Cadillac Presidential Limousine - Barack Obama

This armored vehicle has an under-floor blanket made of Kevlar and shock-absorbent materials to deflect grenade attacks. It also holds ballistic-resistant tires, 8 inch thick doors and windows, and steel wheels that can operate without any rubber. Don’t forget the air-tight sealed interior circulation system to stop gas attacks

Lots of advancements.
