I received the 2009 Cadillac Obama 1:43 in good condition 7 days after I placed my order. It is very detailed, accurate und well manufactured. It is a nice addition to my collection and I like it very much. The price was right, too.

My 8 year old Grandson adores this model. He is very enthusiastic about anything having to do with the US Presidency and The White House. Ordered this along with 2 Black Secret Service Chevy Suburbans and you should see him zooming around in his Official Escort Capacity. Note: Some have said that these are collector's items, not toys because of the breakable flags and antennae on the vehicle. Baloney! He's had them for over a year and nothing is broken, even with lots of use. If he breaks them off, so what, isn't that what Superglue is for? The details and scale are perfect and they are small enough to play with in a small space.

Amazon classifies this as a toy, which it is not. It is very well made but has some delicate parts like the antenna and flag. That said, it is a beautiful and well made replica of the Obama Mobile.

The first piece was damaged in shipping. The response from the vendor was AWESOME and I was sent another one for free asap.

I am a proud supporter of President Obama and enjoy collecting items that commemorate his presidency. I found this by accident and could not have been more pleased. I was very impressed with the details the maker put into this car. I am not using it as a toy, for me it's a collectable, so I can't really speak to its' duribility, however, it does seem to be extremely well made. This is a great item not just for President Obama supporters, but for anyone looking for a piece of presidential history. I will definately reccomend this item to both family and friends.

First and foremost, this is NOT a toy for children. It would all too easily crumble into pieces in the wrong hands, and no one should ever order it based on unclear information or suppositions. Secondly, I've only scored it at 3/5 max simply because I had to settle for it in 1/43 scale. It's not made by anyone in 1/24th scale to my knowledge. All of my other presidential and/or historical limousines in my collection are 1/24th scale, and this just doesn't have that awe-inspiring look to it. It looks decently enough I suppose, and it's better than no "Beast" at all, but, it will never be a show-stopper.

I received the wrong item from this company. i opened the box and all i got was a toy disney car. from the movie cars. i went to walmart and priced it and it only cost one dollar and 50 cents. i was so forward to looking for the obama limo.. what a big let down. seller did email me and said they would correct the item... and i hope that they do so soon..... cause i love collecting from amazon.com....
