Inside The Fall Of The Stretch Limo
Ғылым және технология
In the 80s and 90s, the stretch limousine was a coveted status symbol for the rich and famous. But today, they’re more of a rare (and cheesy) sighting. What happened all the stretch limos? And when did they fall so far out of favor?

As someone who operates in this industry, you hit every point correctly! The only thing you forgot to mention is that the new law in NYS which is where I operate, it requires all stretch limousines(a vehicle carrying 9 passengers or more) to be DOT inspected. This means that it falls under NYSDOT regulations and not just emissions standards and local jurisdiction inspections. It requires a stretch limousine to be put up to the same standards that coach buses and shuttle buses must face by the DOT. You mentioned the CDL part correctly but also forgot to mention the mandate of 19-A certification which plays a role into this. The big uprising now is the Sprinter Limousine which is not stretched and can carry about 11-14 passengers depending on them. This makes them safer and they already fall under DOT regulations.
severely underrated channel
it's crazy how much sociology effects economics
As CEO of what was one of the most popular limousine builders in the world, we now build Sprinter Van Conversions and would likely never stretch a vehicle ever again. Very solid and accurate piece.
Stretch Limousines are now Only Popular in Casino Cities like Vegas, Reno, Biloxi, Atlantic city. The True Suv took its place but in the 80's & 90's Limos were the Sht!!!

What's funny is I see a LOT more SUVs turned into limos than sedans. I've seen Navigators and Escalades turned into ridiculously long limos. They're 10-15 feet longer than the limo Julia Roberts rode in "Pretty Woman"!
Were you wearing the seatbelt in the video while sitting in the back of the stretch? I see you are in NYC.
When MJ was a spokesperson for the Chevy Blazer.....that is when the SUV coolness was launched.
SUV's and Party Busses are in. Unfortunately the car based limo had its day.
If you live in Elmhurst Queens, you probably have seen the stretched limo Prius.
3:40 $40K won’t even get you a RAV4 these days
I hate stretched limos.
