2006 Lexus GS430 Limo

We're not really all that interested in limousines, but we are fascinated when the basis for those stretch jobs are unexpected and seemingly a bit random; here's another one of those.

"2006 Lexus Gs 430 8 Passenger Pink and Pearl White Limousine for $21500. We have upgraded our fleet to a larger limousine. This car runs well and all the electronics work! It's a great starter car or addition to a fleet. It only has 66K miles on it. Please email or text for info.Upgraded LED headlights, CD, radio, DVD players."

Not only did the owner choose to stretch a vehicle that you don't usually see as a limousine, but then they painted the bottom half pink. We're thinking they wanted to do something a bit different and eye-catching. They were successful with those goals, we think, but why they didn't pick an LS to convert is beyond us.

What do you think of this Barbie-mobile?

  1. I'll call Lady Penelope right away. I am sure Parker will be pleased with the new wheels...

  2. But isn't the LS rear-wheel drive? Seems like a lot of extra work, when there are so many FWD platforms available. Heck, even the humble 2CV is an option:

  3. B, have you seen the new Thunderbirds Are Go television show? I didn't like it very much but you might.

    You bring up a good point; why go through the trouble of stretching a RWD car like the GS and LS? It makes no sense.

  4. I saw about 5 minutes of the new Thunderbirds show. I was not impressed. I think I need to be able to see the puppet strings, or I am not happy.

  5. Ha! Yeah, no strings equals no go. CGI was a really bad decision.
