Stretch Limousine Specifications:

 It was then stretched 48 inches in the middle behind the driver doors. The rear compartment is double the size.  A rear facing middle seat was added and two middle doors with concealed door handles in the frame and no exterior door handles. The middle exterior looks like a standard limousine with no door handles.  Hidden openers are in the front driver and passenger door frame. The rear 1/3 of the roof was cut off above the rear seat for wide open air riding. This vehicle is called the Phaeton model reminiscent of vehicles of Kings, Queens, Popes and Presidents.

This is an awesome ride reminiscent of early 20th century open rear compartment Parade Cars the President rode in and seen in every parade. This is the perfect vehicle for promoting a business, weekend touring, site seeing, charity promotions, vineyard tours, city tours, historic tours, a real estate business and of course parades. OR what i use it for just cruising to car shows and driving on sunny weekends. You can fit six people in the back compartment comfortably.

Phaeton is a term that comes from early 20th century coach building and it means open top. In this case the roof above the rear seat has been removed. The rear seat has been raised ten inches and a parade seat and chrome grab handles have been added on the rear deck.

In case it rains there is a snap on white vinyl manual top that covers the rear seat so no rain will spoil your fun.  It takes 3 minutes to put on and stores in the trunk.
