The heavily fortified motorcade ferried President Joe Biden; First Lady Jill Biden; Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff to Arlington Cemetery; where they all took part in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Former Presidents, including Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton, also traveled to Arlington Cemetery in armoured SUVs.
At least four of the ‘Beast’ limousines in Biden’s motorcade were of the newest type that was delivered to the Secret Service in 2018.
The one carrying Biden, the 46th President of the United States, had a special Washington D.C. 59th Presidential Inauguration license plate “46” on it.
Older version of the ‘Beast’ limousines that was first used during the Obama administration were also spotted among the motorcade.
More than half of the Cadillac-based armoured vehicles in the Presidential fleet took part in the motorcade procession.
The armoured vehicles are essentially medium-duty trucks disguised as luxury limousines. According to reports, their are about 12 of them in the Presidential fleet, with each costing about $1.5 million.
