The battle to build the next “Beast” has begun.
The Department of Homeland Security has opened bidding for the contract to design and engineer the next presidential limousine.

They might be able to get a good deal on a 1961 Lincoln Continental 4-door convertible. It’s a fixer upper, but it’s been cleaned up real nice. It was mostly used in parades, so it’s got very low miles.
Why?
Haha, horny Mike would go to town on the new beast!

It’s not wear, for sure.
Needs the latest security and electronic gear. Probably too expensive to retrofit.
Why not use that enormous bus we paid for?
