Product Description
What is it about the limousine?
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.
