Yuge Opportunity! Own the 1988 Trump Series Cadillac Limos!
What a garish piece of shit! I've seen custom street vans that looked better than this. Even a pimp would be embarrassed to own this.
In 1988, years before anybody knew that Donald J. Trump had his eye on the Oval Office, our president-elect got together with Cadillac in an attempt to make stretched executive transport great again. We have no idea what the project cost General Motors and Dillinger/Gaines Coachworks, but we do know that along with the first Golden Series limo off the line, Trump got a sweet gold Allanté out of the deal.
The deal, predictably enough, began in Florida. Trump and then Cadillac general manager John Grettenberger were in Palm Beach when the future president of the United States of America started in on limos, saying to Grettenberger, “John, what Cadillac ought to do is come up with a design for an incredible limousine that has the big headroom and all of the assets that anyone could want.” The result, the Cadillac Golden Series and Executive Series limousines, were announced at the Las Vegas Limousine & Chauffeur Show in November 1987 and formally debuted in January 1988 at the Limousine & Chauffeur Show in Atlantic City. Who knew the limo scene of the 1980s was so action packed that it required two trade shows within mere months of each other?
The Trump Series limousines dispensed with the tight egg-crate-pattern grille Cadillac had been using in the 1980s in favor of a unit made of stately vertical bars. They also featured brushed-steel side pillars for maximum elegance and a raised roof that offered additional headroom for those large of stature and/or immense of coiffure. Those who opted for the Golden Series also got a set of Vogue gold-line tires and, of course, gold-plated metallic accents.
Inside, the amenities were state-of-the-stretched-Cad art, featuring wool carpeting, Italian leather upholstery, an NEC cellphone with two handsets in rosewood side panels, a Blaupunkt sound system, and—for the most timely and sensitive business transactions—a mobile fax machine and a paper shredder. Most important, the Golden Series featured an alcohol dispenser, the business end of which was constructed from what was presumably the finest medium-density fiberboard on the Eastern Seaboard. The seats also bore a classy embroidered Trump crest, so occupants would be aware just who brought such opulence into their heretofore unfathomably puny lives.
