Ten cars for CEOs

10.) Holland & Holland Range Rover by Overfinch
The Holland & Holland began life as just another Range Rover and then Overfinch added room for your hunting rifles and champagne flutes. The Holland & Holland edition is more than just transportation to and from your hunting excursion, it's the whole trip in one car. It's also got enough room for you and your other CEO buddies to go let off some steam after a long week of wheeling and dealing and comes equipped with a year's supply of booze.

9.) Citroen DS
Just remember the fish-tied-to-a-balloon hydropneumatic suspension can drive on three wheels if some kind of crazy assassination attempt should come your way.

8.) 1965 Lincoln Continental
Getting out of the back of a car with suicide doors in a suit can make anyone look like a total badass.

7.) 1982 Lancia 037
Since the all-powerful CEO is too important to sit in traffic, it makes sense that he or she should drive the street-legal homologation version of a car that could simply take an alternate route down the highway median, through the forest, or across the gravel parking lot.

6.) 2011 Audi A8L W12
Combining the massive luxuriousness of the A8 long wheelbase with the earth-shaking power of Volkswagen's W12 engine and this A8 will get a Captain of Industry to the meeting rapidly, comfortably, and discreetly.

5.) Maserati Bellagio
It's a Quattroporte with room for the wife, kids, dog, mistress, and a weekend's worth of luggage. It's also arguably one of the most beautiful cars on the list.

4.) Bristol Blenheim 3G
Get your assistant to take notes, and fix what's left of the Bristol's electrical system on the side of the highway in your suit and tie. It's last century's British luxury grand tourer, built yesterday, and broken down today.

3.) Cadillac Sixteen
Featuring the eponymous 13.6 liter V-16 engine, the Sixteen is an absolutely mad automobile. It has a carved crystal Cadillac crest on the steering wheel and a Bulgari clock in the dashboard. It set the tone of Cadillac's modern 'Art & Science' design theme that continues to this day. And it's huge and imposing enough to strike fear in the heart's of any competitors, whether you're pulling up to a business meeting or an afternoon at the country club.

2.) 2011 Aston Martin Rapide
It's not as fast as the Porsche Panamera and not as roomy as the Maserati Bellagio. It's just so hot. It really comes down to how many sets of golf clubs or how many personal assistants you have to haul on any particular day.

1.) 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon
The CTS-V wagon is another solid choice for CEO transportation. It's fast, luxurious, and relatively low-key. It's just awesome.
