Newly inaugurated President George W. Bush just received a new Cadillac DeVille limousine. The 2001 DeVille was delivered to the White House for its first official duties in the Presidential inaugural parade on Saturday. Not only is it the first new Presidential limo of the new millennium, it’s also the first Cadillac to be adorned with the division’s new wreath-and-crest emblem.

The limousine looks similar to the 2001 DeVille production models but is unique under the skin. Handcrafted with a black clear coat finish, the new Caddy is considerably longer, wider and taller than the production models. To maintain national security, it’s equipped with state-of-the-art protection and communication systems including Cadillac's Night Vision infrared object detection system.

The interior boasts seven-passenger seating and is finished with wood accents and rich blue leather and cloth. A rear seat "executive package" featuring a concealed, foldaway desktop will allow the new President to keep up on his homework, not to mention affairs of state. The rear seats have an adjustable reclining feature and adaptive seat system for added comfort. When time comes to relax, Bush will have his own premium sound system with a 10-disc CD changer.

Just to make it clear who is riding aboard, Presidential seals are placed in the center of the rear-seat back panel, on each rear door trim panel and the exterior of each rear door. The U.S. flag is placed on the right front fender, and the presidential standard is located on the left front fender. Flush-mounted spotlights located in the fenders illuminate the flags at night.
