WHo cares if it is Clintons or not. How many stretcehd Cressida's do you see. I have to say that is the first one I have ever seen. WOuld be cool to drive around in that. LOwer it a little put some nice rims and do the body work it needs. You would definitely have a one of a kind.

that is BS. i have never seen an American president ride an anything other that an american car. usually caddy's and lincolns (kennedy era). plus, clinton's limo had a heart shaped water bed in it...no joke.

I called BS when I first saw this a couple months back whilst not here on TN.

Clinton was inaugurated in 1992. The Cressida in question is indeed an 1987 (or 1988) model. Why would a non-American, five-year old Toyota be used as a limo for a president's inauguration?

I'm sure with the right research skills, one can prove/disprove this Cressida. I'm lazy.

They make limos out of everything. They have Mini Limos.

scroll down to 1993 Clinton got a brand new Cadillac Fleetwood. Before then they had a 1984 Cadillac that Regan got new.

Cadillac Presidential Limousine

WASHINGTON, DC - The newest Presidential Limousine, the first to be derived from the all-new Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, has been delivered to the United States Secret Service. It is the first of three identical Presidential Linousines built for the President and his family.

Its Cadillac predecessor was presented to President Ronald Reagan in 1984.

The 1993 Presidential Limousine features a special chassis and powertrain designed and built by Cadillac in cooperation with GM's Advanced Engineering staff. GM's Cadillac Design Studio developed the body's interior and exterior design while the body structure and special armoring systems were designed by Cadillac Engineering and built by GM's Part Fabrication.

Under Secret Service supervision, all facets of the design, developement and manufacture of the limousine were completed totally within General Motors.

"Cadillac has a tradition of providing transportation for this nation's presidents. We are very pleased to have been accorded this honor once again," says John 0. Grettenberger, general manager of the Cadillac Motor Car Division. "It demonstrates a real team effort on the part of General Motors."

He adds that the dramatic new aerodynamic styling of the Fleetwood Brougham as well as its strong association with special vehicles made it an ideal choice for the conversion to the Presidential fleet.
