One of the most adored cars of all time is the Volkswagen Beetle. Despite being made in the early ‘30s, it has withstood the test of time and managed to stay on the road even today. While oldies such as Ford’s Mustang have been changed and updated to keep up with the times, part of the appeal of the Beetle is its callback to simpler times.
When the Beetle was turned into a limo, it somehow became even more of a classic, getting a look that more closely resembles a brand-new Rolls Royce. If you’re the kind of person who likes to get driven around in style and perhaps in a top hat and tail jacket, this is definitely the shuttle for you.
Fiat Limo
We bet you never thought you’d be seeing those words so close together. As assumed, Fiat doesn’t quite inspire the same sense of confidence and awe that you get from watching a regular limo in action. This one is basically a very long Fiat and gives off a look that mostly resembles a train cart.
Why would you rent one of these then? Well, for starters, this is a very civilized car and is often chosen by UK audiences. Second, it’s a Fiat, which means that people are definitely going to give you attention. After all, what’s the point of driving a limo, if people aren't going to be pointing and staring as you’re being driven around town?
Prius Limo
What happens when you stretch one of America’s most beloved family cars and turn it into an eight-seater? Not much apparently. The Toyota Prius Limo is basically a longer version of this already popular car and can help you fit even more children in this hybrid. Just be aware that the only partying that will be going on in this ride involves an abundance of sippy cups.
Instead of looking like a crazy stretched version of this popular car, the Prius limo actually went for a very practical and good-looking solution. The car sports at least six seats, and is great for larger families. Most vehicles for more than five persons are either too big or too clumsy.
Pickup Truck Limo
Some of these regular-cars-turned-limos genuinely appear like a bad Photoshop job, but this pickup truck limo truly takes the cake. We don’t know what’s more hilarious about it, from the innocuous star in the middle to the fact that the entire flatbed only takes up around 15% of the truck’s total length!
This is truly a piece of art and was made by Faizan Dolani, the president of Prime Limo & Car Service. He claims that the idea didn’t actually come from him, but actually came up during a casual conversation with one of his chauffeurs. The guy reportedly told him, “You know what’d be really cool? If you had a stretch pickup truck in the fleet.” Best. Marketing. Trick. Ever.
Camaro SS Limo
The Camaro limo is a true beauty, as she was as just a plain Camero. The limo version costs just below $100,000 and will host you and nine of your friends in a surprisingly gas-friendly vehicle. While it’s no longer what most people call a muscle car, this beast’s engine can carry ten passengers with relative ease.
The Camaro and Mustang have long been at odds with each other, often fighting to become the #1 muscle car in the United States. Now, as they both have limo versions, we’ll be able to see which one is really more liked by the rich and famous.
