The conversion of a regular vehicle lets say, a Cadillac, a Lincoln, a Hummer or a Navigator etc. is almost as exciting as the metamorphosis of a caterpillar to a butterfly. The caterpillar's process of transmutation is naturally programmed from start to finish. However, stretching a special car from its original length to a limousine length of 6 inches to 140 inches or more takes about 8 weeks, plus an entire limousines builders' team, precise calculations and lots of luxurious gadgets and quality raw materials.

Limousines builders take many factors in consideration when building these luxury vehicles.
They aim to make them safe, reliable, resistant to weather conditions, comfortable, appealing and long lasting.

Like all vehicles, the limousines have an established capacity limit determined by the GVWR.

Limousines builders take pride in their products and most exceed the conversion standards set by Lincoln and Cadillac. This is especially good for consumers as well as for businesses that depend on these marvelous machines for income.

The conversion process begins with a brand new vehicle such as a Lincoln Town Car, a Cadillac Escalade, a Chrysler 300 or a Hummer. Whichever vehicle it is, it is stripped and prepared for cutting.

In the factory, the specialists use laser guided cutting system to split the car to accurate measurements. Once the split is completed, the framework is extended with steel structures to the desired length. They are welded with detailed precisions to ensure a uniform structure of the chassis.

The conversion and the refinishing of the unit are done carefully and methodically. Different coachbuilders use their custom made components such as parts, electrical finishes, upholstery, ABS plastic, fiber glass, interior trim, wood cabinetry, wood finishes and more.

The refinishing process is where all the added parts and assemblies will be readied for painting. The painting takes place in the paint spray room.

After the limousine is painted, the fun but still tedious part of putting everything where they belong begins. The professionals dress the interior of the limousines with all the regular and custom ordered luxury amenities.

The limousine is now ready for the inspection of the electrical system, the undercarriage, the interior and the exterior.

Once the limousine passes the inspection, a beautiful and exciting finished product emerges from the factory. A beautiful, road ready Stretch Limousine is ready to make its smooth debut on the road. And people will stare at the beauty of the finished product driven on the roads.
The Limousine is used for many different occasions: weddings, parties, business trips, tourist tours, airport, rentals, etc...
