Here are some from which he could choose - as used in various presidential inaugurations and other events:

Grant's Second Inaugural Carriage


Lincoln's Carriage


Or, he might prefer something like this, also available from the Smithsonian:

Garbage truck

Paddy wagon

Mobile shredding truck

The truck with a motorcycle bolted to the top that President Camacho used in Idiocracy
(You know you’re in trouble when Idiocracy is an iOS autofill suggestion.)

Cattle truck, not washed out first

Hazmat cleanup truck
