Not a Fleetwood: 1958 Cadillac Series 62

A Little Beast: 2002 Cadillac DeVille 6-Door

If you are a fan of automotive history, then perhaps one of the most fascinating rabbit holes to dive down is that of presidential limousines.  From President Taft’s purchase of two Pierce-Arrows, a Baker electric car, and a White… more»
