The Long Demise of the Stretch Limousine

A little light and fluffy weekend reading.

Interesting article. Never was a fan of limos…always thought they were gimmicky and “look at me”.

I always look at condition when I see them, though. 9/10 times the body panels have more waves than the Atlantic and the things are totally decrepit. Let alone inside.

When I was wholesaling, found a W220 S500 Pullman, was sitting right in town, prior celebrity ownership. Had a partition, writing tables, & full console. Similar to this one.

I have spotted some pretty beaten-up limos before as well. It is as if they are hanging on to a past era. But then there are those rare gems like that W220 S500 Pullman. That must have been quite a discovery.
