When you are picturing a limousine in your head, you are probably thinking of those long, glamorous and elegant vehicles used only by celebrities in order to arrive at parties or various events. Well, this is entirely true, but actually how much do you know about limousines? For example, did you know that some of the best and largest stretch limousines can easily accommodate 15 persons and in some cases, even more than that? If your interest has been stirred then here are more fun limousine facts you might want to know.

1. Limousines were the first vehicles with air conditioning. Nowadays, air conditioning is usually standard in pretty much all types of vehicles, but back in the days, more exactly in 1939, it was a luxury feature and only available in some of the most expensive and modern cars and limousines. Air conditioning was optional for these vehicles and the clients who wanted to enjoy such benefits had to pay about $300 more.

However, don’t think for a second that the air conditioning units back in the days were as efficient and great as the ones we currently have. Actually, they occupied a lot of space, most of the times they didn’t work and they couldn’t even display the temperature!

2. The first stretch limo appeared in 1928 in Arkansas. Yes, believe it or not, these vehicles are almost one century old. Back in the days, they were used to transport big bands and that is why they got the nickname of “big band buses”.

3. The first limo appeared in 1902. This is a regular limousine, not a stretch one, and it firstly appeared in 1902. This was a very cute and well-thought vehicle: it featured a private, enclosed compartment in the back, just for the passengers, and the driver had his own compartment in the front, yet only the roof was covered. In windy days, the driver might have felt pretty uncomfortable, but at least the passengers were safe and sound!

4. The longest limousine has a length of 100 feet. Can you imagine that? It was built in 1997 and it can actually split in half in order to change direction. It features 26 wheels and they are grouped in 3 sections, in the front, middle and back of the limousine. This amazing, almost interminable vehicle was featured in different movies and shows and it also raised the interest of a large number of people who actually wanted to rent it for their transportation needs.

5. The president of the United States is transported with “The Beast”. This is the nickname of his private, custom-built, heavily-armored and pretty much indestructible stretch limousine. You probably already imagine that for safety and security reasons this limousine is entirely bulletproofed, it features exquisite communication systems a lot of other protection devices which will keep the president safe during trips all over the world.

Although we cannot help you have a ride in “The Beast” unless you are the president of the United States, we definitely can put a large fleet of luxurious and modern limousines at your disposal! Contact us today and tell us more about your transportation needs.
