FactBill Clinton's state car was a 1993 Fleetwood, the last presidential car derived from a regular production passenger car.
For 1993 the Fleetwood became a rear-wheel-drive full-size sedan on the D-body related to the Buick Roadmaster and Chevrolet Caprice, built at Arlington, Texas, until 1996. It used a 5.7 litre small-block V8, the L05 and from 1994 the LT1, with a four-speed automatic, on a 121.5-inch wheelbase.

An estimate, for the 5.7 L05 V8 trim: fuel on its EPA figure and a dated national price, upkeep on a per-mile average for the kind of car it is.

Photographs
Bill Clinton's state car was a 1993 Fleetwood, the last presidential car derived from a regular production passenger car.
The Fleetwood nameplate did something no other American car line had: it went rear-drive to front-drive, then switched back to rear-drive again in 1993.
The front-drive Fleetwood coupe faded fast: 4,108 built in 1989, and a mere 443 in its final year, 1992.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
