Limousine

[Mr.Espinoza ♔♔♔]

 

 

A limousine as it is known today is an elongated luxury car. The body, usually black or white, may have been enlarged by the manufacturer or by an independent mechanic. The first elongated limousine was created using a Lincoln Continental in 1954, being considered a record in luxury transport vehicles. Today the limousines are normally driven by chauffeurs and until the mid-nineties they were frequently associated with millionaires. They are also used for special occasions such as weddings, parties or tourism.

Although some limousines are owned by individuals, many are from governments in order to transport important politicians, large companies to carry executives or means of transportation for guests. Many limousines, however, operate as rental vehicles, competing with the various taximeter companies.

The word Limousine (Limousine) comes from a French word for a hood-shaped garment that shepherds use to protect themselves from rain and cold.

Manufacturing
A limousine is made based on a car cut in half and extended, on other occasions they can leave the Krystal Enterprises factory. Normally the seats that are in the car are replaced by sofas either separated or only one running along the vehicle, in the form of J, the rest of the interior ornaments may have been handmade. You can add screens and design a party atmosphere. They are manufactured up to 20 meters in length with added amenities both inside and outside. This makes the limousines a convenient and comfortable means of transport, although a little insecure according to current standards since the original structure of the vehicle has been altered; the engine is larger compared to rural vehicles; passengers are not normally transported by seat belts; they cannot be adequately protected by airbags and the abundance of comfort elements such as those typical of a bar contribute to the existence of loose elements (glasses, bottles and glass vases) which can be secured in their respective holes to avoid instability, unless the limousine use rule is not respected, these elements could impact passengers in case of abrupt maneuvers.

Currently they can be manufactured to order, authorized factories can even make them armored, many people use them for mobile offices or meeting and work centers.

Types of limousines
A town car is a historic car body style characterized by four doors, an open front compartment and a closed rear compartment, usually a car with a driver.
A landaulet or landaulette is a body style similar to a town car, but with the passenger section covered by a convertible roof.
A coupé de ville is a carriage or two-door motor car with or a side window per side, with four tight seats, in which the rear seats are covered and without side windows, but the front seats are open or cover with only a lightweight folding roof. Passengers in the rear seats can move in privacy, as the windows in the back of the car are kept small. There is no division between the front and rear seats as in a limousine.
