In 2009, the customized Cadillac that would serve as a state car until 2018 entered service during Barack Obama’s inauguration. This was a fully customized auto that was not based on a single model. It borrowed some elements from other Cadillacs and had some unique features. It did have the recognizable large Cadillac badge and familiar taillights and headlights. Some of the basic features of the auto were never revealed. Experts speculate that it may use the GMC Topkick platform with a Vortec 8.1-liter V8 or a Duramax diesel 8.1-liter V8.
