If someone is becoming a president in the  X country, he/she might need some badges  of his power and position. Also, his/her guests need to be spoiled a little in some luxury cars.

In my opinion, the past of these luxury cars was much more glorious than the present. There is no big deal anymore to be President of the U.S. if you get only an ordinary Cadillac DTS! ( no offence for Obama and McCain).

I think, any millionaire from Russia or Gulf can get a similar car. This ugly job has no status anymore!

But how was in the good old time? Well, I think it was different. Prestigious car manufacturers  were not allowed to sell certain models to not aristocratic families. Ceausescu, for example, tried to order a special Rolls Royce and he was refused.

Mercedes issued a special Pullmann for the President of The Western Germany. This is a luxury car indeed with all necessary ammenities. . The engine was not special strong, and the official driver was jealous on special race editions! But this car had something special, which modern governmental cars don’t have anymore. A kind of magic, simply! It was specially designed taller than usual, in the honour of  Charles de Gaulles.

And the following car of the former chinese NomenKlatura was also on the top!

The good old time were more stylish !
