The Cadillac Escalade is synonymous with American luxury, and has evolved into a cornerstone of the brand. And while there are plenty of options from the factory, you can also customize it so that it becomes a bullet proof lounge on wheels through a third party. Quality CoachWorks, based out of Southern California, has come up with a seemingly impenetrable Cadillac Escalade capable of repelling assault rifle rounds without tarnishing the luxury associated with the vehicles history. If anything this Cadillac Escalade becomes more luxurious than its base model. Be prepared to shell out some cash though.
