Re: Formal vehicles for Presidents and Royalty

Thanks for those links and interior picture, MikeJ. From the interior picture, the car is almost certainly armoured. The windowsill looks to be reinforced and there is a piece of grey velour that is probably overlapping armour for the door. I may be wrong about that, haven't seen too many interior pics of older Cadillacs.

Hey Mirage. The HK government ordered, I believe, 36 Phaetons to replace the aging BMW 7-series in the government fleet. These are the cars with the "AM" license plates. However, I have yet to see any pictures of the Phaetons. Recently, the commissioner of police retired and he left the ceremony in the old 7-series.

This a cool picture page for anyone interested: - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER The VIPPU guys often drive with their doors partially open.

The VIPPU car is still the 750il High Security. I wonder if they will replace it with an armoured Phaeton or the 760Li High Security. Most of the rich businesspeople have the 760Li HS.

Re: Formal vehicles for Presidents and Royalty

France! One of the coolest presidential or royal vehicle in my opinion. The custom Peugeot 604 LWB Presidentielle. It's not as long as the 604 Heuliez limousine, but the presidential car is longer than the standard 604.
