 Anyone want to start a limo business? I saw this for sale and had to chuckle.

I don't think I've ever seen a limo that ends up looking better than the original base vehicle.  Looking at that I still haven't.  I understand a limo serves a purpose but in my opinion a styling icon like the 57 Ford just looks plain "wrong" when something resembling an aircraft fusilage gets slapped in the middle of it......

Adding the C***y small block to it really is rubbing the poor car's nose in the dirt........

With a bit of work, a colour change and tossing the crap engine, it could be made into something half decent, but it would have to be priced a whole lot cheaper. Instead of cruising 6 up in Victoria, I could cruise 10 up, wahoo party car.

We all would be taking a look at it if we saw it at a car show just because, I do think if it was black or maybe white it may not look as bad. But if you had a group of people heading to a ford only show, that would be cool to pull up in.
