Lincoln Navigator LimoModel DetailBrand: Maisto (Playerz: Luxury Diecast Collection) Car Information and Specifications
A limousine (or limo) is a long luxury car, traditionally black in color. Limousines are often driven by chauffeurs. While some limousines are owned by wealthy individuals, many are owned by governments to transport senior politicians, by large companies to transport executives, or by broadcasters to transport guests. Many more limousines operate as vehicles for hire, providing upmarket competition to taxicabs. For the most part, only limousine service and rental companies own limousines. Even the wealthy who use limos as their main mode of city transportation do not own the limousine -- they contract with a limousine service for long term availability through a lease arrangement. Custom coach builders can perform aftermarket extensions on luxury sedans and SUVs which are not factory-produced in stretch form. These extensive (and expensive) limousine conversions have been performed on countless luxury marques, including, but not limited to: Audi, Bentley, BMW, Cadillac, Hummer, Infiniti, Jaguar, Lexus, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Rolls Royce. Most custom coach builders are located in the United States and Europe and cater mainly to celebrities, government officials, and financial executives. Few such vehicles are available for public hire. These custom stretch limousines can cost anywhere from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars. In addition to luxuries, safety features such as armoring and bulletproof glass are often available.
