How Limousines Work

In this episode of Stuff You Should Know, Josh and Chuck dive into the surprisingly broad world of limousines, exploring everything from their origins as French hooded cloaks to the fascinating process of how modern stretch limos are actually made. They break down the surprisingly simple yet precise method of cutting regular cars in half and extending them, discuss presidential limousines throughout history, and share some pretty wild examples of extreme limo conversions including monster truck limos and even a converted airplane. Whether you love them or hate them (Chuck definitely falls into the latter category), you'll learn some interesting facts about these elongated vehicles and the industry behind them.
