It also has a tear gas cannon, shotguns, a fresh supply of oxygen, and two pints of the President’s blood in the unlikely event that he’d need a roadside transfusion. Furthermore, the car’s doors are as heavy as the cabin doors on a Jumbo jet, and cannot be wound down in order for them to retain their bulletproof properties at all times.
Prior to 1939, US presidents used to travel around Washington DC in a horse and cart, with the Secret Service following on horseback or foot. The very first official presidential car was the Sunshine Special – an open-topped ’39 Ford with a 12-cylinder engine.
Ever since that time, the presidential car has been updated periodically with the latest security innovations to ensure that the sitting President has the utmost level of protection. The first presidential car to be dubbed “The Beast” was George Bush Junior’s.
As you can expect, not much is known about the original Beast other than that it has military-grade armor plating, the glass in the windows was so thick that it didn’t let in light, and weighed well over five tons.
