OP
It's interesting that they didn't go to great lengths at all to look like Ford and Carter.

Gerry Ford slips on wet, metal steps while wearing dress shoes and keeping Betty Ford out of the rain and he's a klutz for life. Personally, I think dress shoes should be labeled as dangerous, torture devices and banned!

Just speech and physical mannerisms, mostly, and Carter's hair.
Always thought it was funny that Chase looks nothing like Ford.
