10 US Presidential Cars That Cost More Than You Thought

Theodore Roosevelt – Columbia Electric Victoria Phaeton Automobile ($3,000)

He was the first US president to ride in a car on Aug. 22, 1902 in public. The New York Times reported that Roosevelt was quite pleased with the “handsome Victoria automobile,” finding it to be an effective way to shake a lot of hands in a short period of time. Considering that the annual salary in that period was $450, the Victoria beauty was a fortune. You could have bought this car in seven years.
