‘Super Limousine’ Measuring 100ft Breaks Its Own 1986 Guinness World Record

The world’s longest car just got even longer! Measuring a whopping 100ft and 1.5 inches (30.54 meters) in length, ‘The American Dream’ super limo is the longest car in the world, having originally been built 35 years ago and later restored by the owner.

A glimpse at the Limo makes you feel excited as it comes with features fit for a king, including a jacuzzi, mini-golf course, helipad, and even a swimming pool with a diving board.

Not only that, the limo can be driven from both ends and fits more than 75 people.

To put its immense size into perspective, most cars measure between 12 to 16 feet (3.6 to 4.2 meters).

Enormous: Measuring in at a whopping 100ft and 1.5 inches (30.54 meters) in length, the ‘American Dream’ super limo is the longest car in the world, having originally been built 35 years ago.

The car was first built in Burbank, California in 1986 by famed car customizer Jay Ohrberg, ‘The American Dream’ originally measured 60 feet (18.28 meters) long, rolled on 26 wheels, and had a pair of V8 engines at the front and rear.

Ohrberg later extended the limo to 100 feet (30.5 meters) long before it was abandoned at the back of a New Jersey warehouse for years and fell into a state of disrepair.

It was eventually listed on eBay, where it changed hands twice but was ultimately purchased by its current owner Michael Dezer for an undisclosed amount.

He then recruited its interim owner Michael Manning to help restore it and on March 1 this year the limo was officially recognized for breaking its own Guinness World Record by a small fraction, having been extended by a couple of inches.

The project, which cost over $250,000 (£190,725) in shipping, materials, and labour, took three years to complete.

‘We had to source some parts because they were destroyed,’ said Manning.

‘It was very hard to find an Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser roof for sale, but I happened to find somebody that had the roof cut off and in storage for 30 years that was willing to part with it.’

The American Dream originally shot to fame in 1986 when it was first recognized by the Guinness World Records as the world’s longest car.

As one of the most unique vehicles to ever roll, the lengthy limo was often rented out for cinematic appearances and was featured in various movies.

But after the world lost interest, the legendary car sat unloved for years and began to rust until parts of it were rendered unsalvageable.

The car was originally built in two sections and joined in the middle by a hinge for turning tight corners.

On top of its grandiose features, it is also equipped with several TVs, a refrigerator, and a telephone.

‘The helipad is structurally mounted to the vehicle with steel brackets underneath and can hold up to five thousand pounds,’ said Manning, who owns Autoseum, a technical teaching museum in Nassau County, New York.

After purchasing the dilapidated limo, Manning was hoping to restore it with the help of community donations, but these never materialized and once again the car’s fate was left uncertain.

‘We were going to restore it at my school but there wasn’t enough funding to take on the project. It sat behind my building in Mineola for approximately seven, eight years,’ said Manning.

Autoseum’s lease with Nassau County was eventually terminated, leaving Manning struggling to find a place he could relocate the car to.

‘I ended up listing it on eBay again and figured if I didn’t sell it, I would transport it up to some property I have in the Catskills,’.

If there’s one vehicle you wouldn’t want to get stuck in traffic behind, it’s this one.🥺
