Novelty limousine service has become a pretty outrageous business. Advances in technology, with light weight materials and space aged supplies mean that an exotic limo can come in just about any shape and size. Even, a Boeing 727. That's right, Bob the Limo King has designed and outfitted a Jet Plane Limousine that some companies are calling a "jetmousine". Minus the wings, of course. Imagine seeing one of those in your rear view mirror! At just under $270 thousand dollars, it's a bargain, right?
A jet plane limo services up to 30 people at a time.
Instead of being cramped into airplane seating like sardines, this ride looks more like a rock star's tour bus on the inside. With plush leather seating and a wide screen plasma television, an 8000 watt sound system, a blue sky projector on the ceiling and a full bar complete with neon bar light signs, this exotic novelty limousine will make you feel like you've joined the mile high club without even leaving the ground. The windows are kept in tact, and can be opened and closed just like in a regular airplane.
You might wonder "How can that be legal? Simple, really.
They've outfitted it with rear view mirrors, and registered it as a bus. In fact, they used a buses axle and steering system to rig it up. Dan Harris, an Oregon Limo Jet manufacturer uses a Chevrolet Truck engine and a leer jet for his version. He sells them faster than he can make them.
These Jet Plane Limousines usually have an intact cockpit, with meters and controls intact; however, since it's really a bus or truck body, they're mostly decorative. One exotic limo company that converts smaller business class jets into limousines ends up simply adding axles and a drive shaft to the frame of the plane, instead of lowering the plane's body onto the bus like the Boeing that Limo Bob made. These jets sport 28 inch chrome wheels and are also legally licensed by the board of transportation for limousine service.
Who could ever have imagined that in addition to creating stretch limos from the most exotic cars, that one day an entire airplane would be turned into a roadworthy vehicle? Imagine, seeing an airplane in your rear view mirror. Would you even recognize it without the wings? Most people have to look twice; it's definitely a strange site that requires a second glance just to figure out what the heck it is! Consider hiring an exotic limo like this next time you're in the market for limousine service.
