In The 1980s, Donald Trump Partnered With Cadillac To Build Trump-branded Limousines

In the 1980s, Trump partnered with Cadillac to build Fleetwood Brougham-based ‘Trump Executive’ and ‘Golden’ Series.

For the proposed project, two prototypes ‘Trump Executive Series’ and ‘Trump Golden Series’ were built.

There were plans to build 50 examples each. But the proposed limited-edition two series never materialized.

One of the prototypes, a ‘1988 Cadillac Trump Golden Series’ limo sold for £54,625 at Bonham’s Car auction in 2017.

“A decision has been made to go into production on two Cadillac-body limousines using my name,” Trump announced at the time.

“The Trump Golden Series will be the most opulent stretch limousine made. The Trump Executive Series will be a slightly less lavish version of the same car.”

Built by Dillinger Coach Works, two prototype models of “Trump Edition” based on on Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham were unveiled at the Limousine and Chauffeur Show in Atlantic City, with plans to build 50 examples each.

But the proposed limited-edition two series never materialized. One of the two prototypes built, a ‘1988 Cadillac Trump Golden Series’ limousine sold for £54,625 at Bonham’s Car auction in 2017 after being owned by the seller for ten years.

“Trump’s Golden Series has been owned by the current vendor for the last ten years. Currently MoT’d and said to drive very well, the car is only offered for sale due to a lack of storage space and the vendor’s advancing years. A unique opportunity,” Bonham wrote its listing.
