This limousine is a 42-foot jet on wheels, and is up for sale
Nowadays, with limousines spanning the marques of Lincoln, Cadillac, Hummer and even Lamborghini, one might say they’ve seen it all. But, not anymore. This 42-foot long by 8-foot wide, Candy Red Limo-Jet or 'Learmousine' will turn heads no matter where it is, as well as make lots of friends along the way.
Originally designed by Dan Harris of Bend, Oregon, and taking more than 40,000 man-hours to complete, the Limo-Jet started life as a bona fide king of the skies. A Learjet fuselage was mated to a custom steel skeletal frame that took two years of research, design and development to construct, including its patent-pending rear engine bay, drivetrain, suspension and computer systems.
