What is it about the limousine?

There is a clear elegance to the limousine and a mystery that surrounds the people behind the tinted windows. Since the golden age of automobiles in the early 1900s, the public has been fascinated by the elegant and, at times, daring designs of the limousines and town cars in which royalty, movie stars, and captains of industry are driven.

This book traces the history of the stretch limousine, covering the classic, stately styles of the early days to the sleek, contemporary, and luxury -filled models of today. Stretching It: The Story of the Limousine, is the first comprehensive look at limousines, chauffeurs, and riders of the back seat, from the earliest to the present.

Robert Vaughan (Huntington Beach, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stretching It: The Story of the Limousine [R-301] (Hardcover)
What a pleasure to read. I found the content of this book very informative with exceptional stories and wonderful photography. It really gives you an insight not only into the history the limousine, but what's really going on behind the scene. A must have - I highly recommed it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Big Toys!!, June 20, 2002
By 
This review is from: Stretching It: The Story of the Limousine [R-301] (Hardcover)
I have this book - now I'm getting copies for my friends. If you like big toys you will enjoy the photographs of traditional and exotic cars. If you like history you will be fascinated by the great story behind the modern limousine. I have not seen a more comprehensive look at any form of transportation.

I highly recommend it - especially if you are in the transportation business. Enjoy!!
