A Short History of Presidential State Cars
The first president to use a car was Franklin D. Roosevelt, who got behind the wheel of a 1936 Packard Touring Limo. However, it wasn’t until the U.S. involvement in World War II that armored vehicles became a priority. The Seized Al Capone gangster ride was initially used as a quick fix before the Lincoln K "Sunshine Special" arrived in 1942, fully armored. Lincoln continued to produce presidential state cars until the 1980s, when Cadillac took over with the 1983 Cadillac Fleetwood. This Fleetwood marked the last production sedan used by the president until the GM stopped making the B-body civilian Fleetwood in 1996, leaving America without a suitable production sedan for the job.
