The Complete History of the Presidential State Car

Hoover Entered With Extra Experience

When Herbert Hoover began his term in 1929, autos were an accepted part of life. Hoover was one of the first leaders to realize the potential effect that the automobile would have on trade as well as convenience and pleasure. During his time as Secretary of Commerce in 1921, he worked hard to create traffic codes. As such, while he did not have a reputation for being overly cautious like Coolidge, Hoover made significant contributions to automotive safety. Although not necessarily related to his state car, this shows the lasting automotive effects Hoover had on the country.
