Hey people,

I saw today on that new website 4wheeled http://www.4wheeled.com just a little information about ESV Limo. Does anyone know anything else about it? I started to look for information but I only found few things. All the same information. How much does it cost?

See ya guys

Thats me again. Well, I'm talking about that Cadillac official limo, ok? That one presented with DTS that Trump bought. I'm not talking about independent transformations.

Thanx

Cadillac doesn't make limousines.

Very correct--EVERY Cadillac limo you see is the result of different coachwork companies who take new models and transform them. I've seen both the ESV you're talking about and the similar 2006 DTS, and that's precisely what they are--heavily modified and customized vehicles that have little to do with the factory.

Well, I see. But isn't it a "official transformation" aproved by Cadillac, like for example Brabus does in Mercedes?

I asked in this post above because I saw some news saying that Trump was the first 2006 DTS Limo customer, and he received the key from Bob Lutz (GM president)

Cadillac and Lincoln both have certified coachbuilder program. The Cadillac program is:
CMC = Cadillac Master Coachbuilder
It is supported through the Professional Vehicle Group of Cadillac. They supply certified coachbuilders with a wide range of help from insider information, to direct input to engineering. It's a great program and was badly needed in the industry. Generally speaking, Cadillac makes sure a coachbuilder is properly trained and equipped to modify select GM base vehicles. They visit the plants, inspect the facilities and verify that all modifications done are with the strict guidlines set fourth by GM engineering. This verifies that the vehicles are done in a manner that maintains a proper level of safety and security. Here's a link to a list of all the CMC manufacturers.

What about the crazy big limo George Bush rode around in for his inaguration?

What about it?
If you want all the details on it, do a search here on "presidential limo". There's a couple threads about it.
