The first limousines weren’t even cars! Learn all about the history of limousines, how they’re made and some of the most creative and expensive amenities you can find inside them in this classic episode with Josh and Chuck.
AI Summary
In this episode, Josh and Chuck explore the surprisingly complex world of limousines, from their origins as a French hooded cloak to the stretch vehicles we see today. They dive into how limos are actually built through conversion processes, what qualifications you need to drive one, and the fascinating evolution of presidential limousines from FDR's armored Sunshine Special to Obama's ultra-secret tank-like Cadillac. Fair warning: if you're not a fan of stretch limos, Chuck's not shy about sharing his feelings on their tackiness.
