A NJ Limousine (or any Limo) is a luxury sedan or saloon
car, especially one with a lengthened wheelbase or driven by
a chauffeur. The chassis of a limousine may have been
extended by the manufacturer or by an independent coach
builder.
These are referred to as "stretch" limousines and are
traditionally black or white in color. Limousines are often
driven by chauffeurs and until the mid-1980s were most often
associated with the wealthy. They are also used for special
occasions such as weddings, parties and sight-seeing tours.
While some limousines are owned by individuals, many are
owned by governments to transport senior politicians, by
large companies to transport executives, or by broadcasters
to transport guests.
Most stretch limousines, however, operate as livery
vehicles, providing competition to taxicabs. Most builders
of stretch limousines are located in the United States and
Europe and cater mainly to limousine companies. Few stretch
limousines are sold to private individuals. In addition to
luxuries, security features such as armoring and bulletproof
glass are available.
The first “stretch limousine” was created in Fort Smith,
Arkansas around 1928 by a coach company named Armbruster.
These cars were primarily used to transport famous “big
band” leaders, such as Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman, and
their bands and equipment. These early stretch limousines
were often called “big band buses”
The limousine body style has a divider separating the driver
from the rear passenger compartment. This partition usually
contains a sliding (often soundproof) glass window so that
conversations between passengers in the rear compartment may
be kept private from the chauffeur. Communication with the
driver is possible either by opening the window in the
partition or by using an intercom system.
