This was right after Black Monday, a time when deeply discounted Ferrari Testarossas were sitting in dealerships for months on end accumulating dust, but Trump got in touch with Cadillac as well as the equally recession-hit coachbuilder Dillinger-Gaines to design nothing short of "the most opulent stretch limousine made." The limousine offered a bar, another bar, gold, a cathode-ray tube television screen, and other infotainment. The plan was to build 50 examples each of two slightly different models. The Trump Golden Series was meant to be the top version, complete with a fax machine, paper shredder, a VCR and plenty of rosewood trim, while the Trump Executive Series was meant to be a slightly decontented version of the same. Trump mentioned the project in his best-selling manuscript "The Art of the Deal."
