Bush will take part in the inaugural parade in a jet-black, Cadillac DTS limousine which will provide a glimpse of the design direction of the production version of the 2006 DTS, the report noted.
AP said GM will introduce the production version of the DTS at next month’s Chicago Auto Show.
Similar to the production DTS, Bush’s limousine highlights Cadillac’s redesigned front and rear, while integrating the brand’s signature egg-crate grille up front, the report said.
AP noted that the president’s hand-crafted limousine is longer, wider and taller than the production model, and is equipped with state-of-the-art protection and communication systems. It seats six and the rear seat features a concealed, foldaway desktop.
