Presidential Limo Revealed

At least General Motors sold one car. The car, codename "Stagecoach," is President-elect Barack Obama's official limousine. The Secret Service and GM are not saying much about the president's ride, but thanks to the Detroit News we have some details about the first car.

The limo is equipt with five inch thick bullet-proof armor and bullet-proof glass. When all the doors are closed, the limo is sealed tight like an airplane cabin, though not pressurized. The seal is meant to protect the president in the event of a biological or chemical attack.

In addition to the security features the limo is fitted with phone and internet service. It features a hand-stitched leather interior. While the car looks ugly in this picture, the finished product will have a sleek black finish. The presidential limo will make its first appearance on inauguration day.
