Photo's and text furnished by Minard Thompson

During President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower's visit to Korea in 1952 a Birddog was especially prepared for his visit. A step was installed under the entry door and to assist is egress into and out of the back seat, a strap was installed on the aft door post. Additionally, carpet was installed on the floor, the overhead windows were covered with modified interior panels, and a vinyl covering was applied to the seat cushions to dress up the interior.
