Ford Mustang: A Limousine from 1966

A rare find on Ebay got us wondering all over again. What is a cooler looking limo: A classic Lincoln, a tough Hummer or a rare, classy alternative – a 1966 Ford Mustang? Now this is the car I’d love to be riding in Las Vegas!

The answer lies in your hands. Will this car sell on Ebay for the listed price of $49,990? Or will it spark a battling auction and go for more? Specialty Sales Classics, based in Redwood city, CA, has this beauty listed online since yesterday.

As written in the original listing, the seller states the vehicle is being kept in its original state. All of the parts are well maintained and preserved. What was replaced is as follows: steering wheel, the body extension, and the interior where it was extended. The car is truly lovable and different. The meter only shows 70,000 original miles.

On the other hand, the reviews of this limousine are split. Part of the Ebay community thinks the limousine industry has gone too far regarding antique and classic vehicles. For the same price a buyer could purchase a nicely restored Mustang that still has plenty of power and style to it.

However, we believe this car will be a nice catch to some limousine company. Be it Las Vegas, a Chicago Limo company or some transportation team in New York, this Mustang will definitely be a hit among newlyweds and prom parties.

Cadillac Tries to Fill in the Gap Left by Lincoln Town Car

2010 marked the last year of the Lincoln Town Car Limo class sedan. The model was discontinued under undisclosed reasons. Chicago limo operators are still looking for a luxury sedan that could fill in the hole left by the Town Can. Cadillac, however, may have a solution.

Cadillac Sedan has been in limousine industry just as long as Lincoln, but was never as respected as a luxury sedan. Town Car was always the leader of the livery transportation. Now, wanting to fill in the gap left by Lincoln, General Motors is proposing a modified XTS sedan which includes all the extras that a limo class sedan must have.

Let’s overview what changes the XTS went through to become the new chauffeur’s dream. The back seat is anhanced with many features, such as an aux connections and charging station for smart-phones, tinted windows and window shades and most importantly, heated seats for the cold Chicago weather.
On the outside, the limo now has LED lights to guide the customer to the door handles and many other small smart changes.

Vice Don Butler, the vice president of the Cadillac marketing group, claims “The Cadillac brings unseen luxury to the livery market. We strive to prove the customer the ultimate luxury experience. Whether it is a front of a back seat, it is all equipped with the latest top notch technology and luxury limo elements”.

If GM is successful filling into the Lincoln land, the XTS will be soon known as the new luxury sedan, which provides black car service as well as stretch limousine service and funerals. But before that, it needs to wipe the competition, such as the Lincoln MKT livery Town car of the Lincoln MKS.

On the other hand, Chicago limo companies, has a strong say on the new proposed limousines. When the Town Car was killed, none of them were happy. The alternative MKT car, suggested by Lincoln was not warmly welcomed. It is still clear that the limo operators are looking for other good options to replace the Town Car. It could be that in a couple of years the Caddy will completely take over the limousine industry stronghold, previously held by Lincoln.

The final word here falls on limousine user and customer. Based on the customer reviews and needs the limousine companies will decide which car to purchase and which to dish. So, please let us know: what would you prefer? A Lincoln MKT or a Cadillac XTS?

Why Party Buses are Booming In Chicago?

The Party Buses and Chicago limo are getting fancier and more extravagant by the minute. The economy is stalling, limousines are getting a bad rap for cheapened service, oversized buses have crashed on major Chicago highways on a few occasions, and yet the party bus rental has never seen better days in the Windy City. For over three years now the party buses have went from a rare luxury seen only once every few weekends to a full-fledged party bus-filled Chicago downtown. It is no longer an oddity to see a party bus on a calm Sunday afternoon cruising around famed Michigan Avenue with a bunch of wild kids.

The Party Buses and Chicago limo are getting fancier and more extravagant by the minute.

The prices for party bus rental in Chicago have seen a sharp decline ever since the main stream entertainment industry popularized the idea of converted limousines, parties themselves have gotten bigger via the social media networks such as Facebook, and conversion companies have found cheaper ways to build old shuttle buses. A party bus conversion that used to cost over $150,000 back in 2007 nowadays will barely reach over $80,000, and the surplus in party bus demand has allowed the limousine operators to stretch their schedules to accommodate more and more people. As a result, renting a party bus in Chicago nowadays costs as much as an SUV or a Hummer limo per person, and half the premium when compared to the traditional stretch limousine rental.

What the SUV and Hummer H2 limousines were to Chicago a few years back in 2003, party buses have completely taken over. While the typical stretch limousine rental is seeing a vast decline in the bookings and reservations being made, more and more chauffeurs are getting CDL licenses to operate one of these epic converted shuttle buses. And the reasons why have never made more sense.

When the customers do the math, they are getting greater value in entertainment for less the price. It no longer makes sense to squeeze ten people into a stretched Lincoln or Chrysler when one could have 30 friends dancing on the pole illuminated by flashing disco lights on a party bus.

As such, the Chicago limo industry is quickly adapting to the boom and building better looking and more efficient party buses for the crowd that’s wild, crazy, and fun enough to use them on a weekly basis.
