The limousine has come a long way since its inception in the early part of the century. Originally just an extended version of the sedan model car, it was something that only the very wealthy could afford and it was special ordered.

The design was stretched out and allowed for extra seating which was usually put right behind the drivers seat and faced the rear.

Now days, you can find limos in all shapes and sizes from a traditional high class Mercedes model to the Hummer version, an SUV.  Seating can be made to run the length of both sides of the limo to accommodate up to 24 people in some cases compared to the old versions which only held eight or ten.

Limousines are no longer just for the very wealthy either, with many working class people using them for special occasions and party situations like birthdays and bachelor parties also.
