The president of the United States likes the Cadillac in their car. What is the reason?
They love Lincoln more than Cadillac!

1909, the president of the United States owned a white steamer for the first time.

The history of American president's car

From 1909 to 1963, the American president's car brand has never changed, but it has always been a convertible.

It is said that the convertible makes it easier for presidents to wave to the crowd in the car and be closer to the people.

1963, John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, was assassinated while riding in a convertible, and all the witnesses died mysteriously one after another, which made the convertible withdraw from the historical stage of the presidential car.

1963- 1977, American presidents continued to use Lincoln cars, and it was not until 1983 that Cadillac was used for the second time (the first time was a specially customized version), and this time Cadillac paid more attention to safety.

That is to say, from 65438 to 0983, Cadillac was used. This does not mean that they have a soft spot for Cadillac, but for safety reasons, Cadillac has provided the president of the United States with a highly safe bulletproof car.

Looking back at the first car of the president of the United States, Lincoln was 7 times and Cadillac was 6 times. Comparatively speaking, Lincoln is more loved by presidents.

"Love" comes from safety, not from liking!
