But the president's new wheels naturally feature some details not available at your local Cadillac dealer. The rear passenger area includes "an extensive executive compartment with ample seating space, outward visibility and useful mobile office features," Cadillac's statement said.
And there is a presidential seal embroidered in the center of the rear seat. Additional seals adorn the door panels, and American flags, lit at night by LED spotlights, top the front fenders when the president is in the vehicle.
When asked about the sound system of the new limo and whether it has a CD player, the Cadillac spokesman, Caldwell, said: "You can rest assured the technology in the car is a bit more advanced than that."
The vehicle also has hand-stitched leather seats and vertical lighting.
The car, he said, was built in a "secretive manner" and, "this was a case where we were certain to follow the instructions of the customer to the letter."
Caldwell said other firms were involved in installing security features but would not say which companies or what they did.
Unauthorized images of the unfinished vehicle recently were leaked on the Internet, but official photos were released today.
While one presidential limo already has been delivered to the Secret Service, two additional matching models are on their way.
GM exclusively has built the presidential limousine since 1983. Cadillacs have been used as presidential vehicles dating back to Woodrow Wilson's presidency and the early days of the automobile. The limo currently used by the president was unveiled at President George W. Bush's second inaugural in 2005.
Many former presidential limos find their way into presidential libraries and museums. The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Mich., has the largest collection of presidential limousines, including the convertible in which President John F. Kennedy was shot in 1963.
