Stretching it: The Story of the Limousine

Anotace

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 limousine and town cars in which royalty, movie stars, and captains of industry are driven.
