Family Style: 1994 Chevrolet Corvette Stretch Limousine

I have a small family. Well...not so small...5 of us in total if you include the wife, which means that we fill any common sedan very quickly -- which leaves limited space for friends, pets, grandparents, hitchhikers, clowns, etc.  Full sized vans are cool, minivans are uncool...but I've always thought that a limo might be the right answer.  Think about it -- take the kids to school, and they can --legally-- mix you a gin & tonic in the back seat for your post school drop-off nap.  But the best part is that I would never have to listen to another "ouch, he is touching my leg" or "but it's my toy" or "the clown is biting my leg" again in my life because that bulletproof divider glass would be PERMANENTLY in the up & locked position.  Find this 1994 Chevrolet Corvette limo offered for $14000 in Mesa, AZ via craigslist.

JDM VIP RHD PDQ: 1988 Toyota Century

If you were a well compensated Japanese executive shopping for a properly boss ride in the late 1980s, you didn't have many domestic cars to pick from.  You could get something imported like a Rolls Royce or a Mercedes S-Class...but many Japanese businessmen preferred to keep it local, perhaps with good reason.  Find this 1988 Toyota Century offered for an undisclosed price in Seattle, WA via craigslist. Tip from JB1025.

1952 Chrysler Saratoga Limousine

Limousine ownership is a responsibility not to be taken lightly. Requests to be a wedding chauffeur or designated driver will soon fill your weekends.

Seating for up to 6 of your motley crew, including a jump seat for the least favorite or most flatulent, completes the package for this 1952 Chrysler Saratoga Limousine on craigslist in Greenville, NC for $3,500.  This post is part of DT's 2016 Birthday Celebration of 100 cars; enjoy the ride!

A Collection of Cadillacs From Kaibeezy

I am afraid that DT's logo guru Kaibeezy has been stricken with some kind of nasty Neptunian virus -- which causes among other things, the desire to drive a giant Cadillac land frigate -- or perhaps the answer is simpler, and is that you just don't see Caddys on Neptune, and absence makes the heart fonder...or was that absinthe? Anyway, enjoy this collection of land frigates from Kaibeezy.

10k: Presidential: 1966 Cadillac Fleetwood Series 75 Limo

The ninth generation of Cadillac's Fleetwood (1966-1970) was a monster of a sedan/limousine that shared common styling cues with the smaller Series 62 & De Ville, but was an entirely different breed of machine.  Everything on the Fleetwood is larger than life and handles like a granite statue of an automobile -- but if you are a family man looking for the non-minivan in your garage  plus sized driveway, this could be it.  Find this 1966 Cadillac Fleetwood Series 75 Limo offered for $10,000 in Vancouver, BC, Canada via hemmings.  

5k: People Carrier: 1962 Chevrolet Suburban Armbruster-Stageway Limousine

The list of vehicles with seating for 18 people that you'd ever want to own is limited.  Used buses, trolleys, and airport shuttles jump to the top of this list, but heavy duty vehicles come with heavy duty repair costs and commercial registration complications.  The next best thing is to pick up a long wheelbase Ford/Chevy/Chrysler full-sized van...but those seem like you've given up on life...instead consider a converted classic limousine with more doors than the Ed Sullivan show.  Find this 1962 Chevrolet Suburban Armbruster-Stageway Limousine currently bidding for $5,231 reserve-not-met on ebay with a 5 days to go, located in Jackson, WY.
