I know I was just saying the level of danger is what makes the pay so good and thats why people are always willing to do it, for the right price. |

Sprinters are becoming popular choices for van type ambulances in the states. Since Freightliner is a Daimler Chrysler division, they are easily accessible.
As for Presidential limos and government vehicles, they used to use Lincolns. John F Kennedy was shot in a suicide door Lincoln convertible. I believe it was after that incident that prompted a change to Caddy. Secret service use Chevy Suburbans as chase vehicles. Local cops use Crown Victorias or Chevy Impala's. Dodge is trying to enter the market with a Charger police package.

No, LBJ used the same limo as JFK, (I didn't know it was a Lincoln I assumed it was caddi) I saw this thing on the history channel about it they that was one of the last time a president reode in an open top car. They rebuilt the car and added a roof etc to it. LBJ ordered it painted black because the dark blue that JFK used for his car was something that LBJ did not want to be associated with. |
