The president of the United States has flown around in a plane made by Boeing since the 1960s and a converted Cadillac has served as his official car since the 1990s. While the manufacturer of Air Force One is unlikely to change anytime soon, the provider of the state car might do. And this got us wondering about what car the new administration could pick for its vehicle of choice.
This was exactly the question we put to you last week when we asked what car should be the next presidential limo? Thankfully, you came back with a whole heap of answers, that ranged from stretched Tesla’s to high-power muscle cars.
Here, we’ve rounded up some serious suggestions and pranky pitches that you came back with. Got an idea for the perfect presidential limo but it’s not listed here? Let us know in the comments below.
Tesla Cybertruck
“Obviously, it should be a Cybertruck.
“We would want Fuhrer Trump to be presented in the most reliable, most protected, and most prestigious vehicle in the world.
“[shut up... nobody tell him]”
Would this mean he’d never travel to Europe if his truck was banned over there?

Ram 1500
“We made it to Really Stupid so we may as well go Full Stupid.”
Nothing screams “America” quite like the president riding in a pickup truck.

Cadillac Escalade
“Escalade.
“The underpinnings of the current vehicle is pretty much a truck already.”
A truck with a trunk is the ideal American car, right?

Cadillac Miller Meteor
“Make America great again!”
For the metaphorical death of the American dream, right?

Something With Power
“Did expect serious comments here? Anyway, if the administration has any say, it’ll be some giant military vehicle to show off his ‘power’.”
Something like a huge Dartz SUV then?

Dodge Charger
“A stretched Dodge Charger Hellcat.”
Would you go for the full Widebody, or just the standard Hellcat?

Ford F-650
“Like everything else Trump, his supporters would love it, and his detractors hate it.
“Anyway, black Ford F-650 truck”
I honestly didn’t realize Ford trucks went this big.

Lincoln Continental
“Would I be out of line suggesting a bit of a throwback? How about a mid-60's Lincoln Continental convertible?”
I feel like there was a reason they stopped using convertibles?
Suggested by: stillnotatony
Tesla Model X
“A stretched Tesla Model X would be an obvious choice.”
Does a stretched Model X have enormous gullwing doors, or just lots of normal-sized gullwing doors?

Fiat Panda
“It’s unfortunate it no longer exists, but I’m sure one could be remade, no?”
I’m sure we could patch it up and have it ready to run soon enough.

Garbage Truck
“Some excellent suggestions here and I am admittedly torn between Hearse, ‘60s Lincoln convertible, prison bus, Pinto, and an actual clown car (with POTUS accompanied by his cabinet), but I think this is the most practical.”
He even already has experience riding in one of these.

The Beast
“Doesn’t need a new one.”
Why mess with perfection, I guess.

One-Way Ride
“For the incoming administration?”
The first administration to require security measures to stop the inhabitants from getting out.
