為美國通用公司1955年特,製凱地拉克型四門七座轎車,有防彈玻璃及安全裝置,車長610公分,寬200公分,高163公分,重約三噸,由菲律賓華僑致贈。
此座車蔣中正總統只坐過一次,一方面因此車十分笨重行動不方便,二方面此車為防彈,蔣中正總統在第一次乘坐時即告侍從人員,「在臺灣都是我的同胞,我不需要任何防彈保護裝置。」從此蔣中正總統就沒有再搭乘此車。
It is a 1955 Cadillac four-door, seven-seat sedan, with bulletproof glasses and security devices, built by General Motors, 610 cm (long) by 200 cm (wide) by 163 cm (high), and weighs about three tons. It was a gift from overseas Chinese in the Philippines.
President Chiang had ridden the sedan only once, because it is unwieldy, on the one hand, and bulletproof, on the other. He told his attendants that "People in Taiwan are all my compatriots. I don't need any bulletproof protection," while he was taking for the first ride in the car. Since then President Chiang had never ridden the car as a passenger.
