Wild Limo

[Richard Vyse]

Would this be considered modified?

 

[Rick Franklin]

I think I'm going to be violently ill!

 

[Scott Crittenden]

No because it was originally equipped with R134a.

 

[Josh Horton]

Yes, the gold grill is not factory.

I know you're joking, but there are companies that build custom stuff like this to spec for customers (Hummers, etc.) It raises an interesting question as to how the rules of our club are interpreted. All the modifications are consistent with the time period in which the car was originally manufactured, so it's possible that it could be considered a "stock" coach, if that is the way it was delivered to the original client.

For instance, here are a couple with the same type of work that were built from scratch:

You make an interesting point Todd.

Hate to have to drive that thing any distance!

People that do this to a limo need to be put on a mental hold at the local hospital or pyhc ward. odd thing is you only see Limo's, Hearse's and everyday cars. i am not a fan of lo profile tire's or those 22''through 36'' rims or lift kit's that are not for 4x4 useage.

Look's like it's ready for the sippii hole - nice paint though!

Try the Car Wash....

the good part

The good part about these period correct conversions is there is no law saying we all have to follow suit.
I went to look at a Cadillac last year and the guy acted like he was insulted when I asked if he still had the original wheels.
Don't know about other states but in this part of Ohio the local badges could stop and ticket you for a non factory bumper height. There were some strange looking customs and trucks running around with odd looking bumper placements for a few years. I think they now just figure they have to better things to do than measure how high you bumper is off the ground. On some cars today you can't find the bumper under the roll pan/body facia.
