Someone Made a Limo Out of a Mid '80s Honda Accord and I Have So Many Questions
Someone Made a Limo Out of a Mid '80s Honda Accord and I Have So Many Questions-May 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:47

Limousines are usually stretched versions of luxury cars or they’re silly cars that were stretched . But then there’s this car: a 1980s Honda Accord, which is oddly stuck in neither category: it was never luxurious enough to be a real limo, and it wasn’t really absurd enough to be a joke. It really makes no sense.

Sent to me by a reader named Alex, this 1984 Honda Accord Limousine is for sale in California for a scant $1,000. That seems dirt cheap when you consider this:

Look at that cushy sofa flanked by wood organizers! Sure, the window separating the driver from the rear cabin appears to be drooping a bit, but that’s not important when you consider the sweet cathode ray tube television! A closer look at that amazing antiquated electronic:

And since we’re taking closer looks at things, check out the little drawers below the admittedly disgusting-looking bench, along with the beautifully integrated vents!:

Off to the side, there’s a radio and a pair of whisky glasses sitting in a custom polycarbonate holder:

It gets better:

Look at that old-school corded phone!

The seller says the car—which apparently ran as of last year—was “professionally built,” and that there’s been “over 20k invested.” I’m assuming all that cash was spent many years ago.

To whomever spent those Benjamins, I must ask: Why start with something as spartan and small as an Accord? Was this an attempt to get a fuel efficient limo? Why copy a Cadillac or Lincoln’s vinyl top look and that little wing on the trunk lid when you could just buy a Lincoln or Caddy?

Seriously, if this thing wasn’t built recently as a joke, but actually sometime in the ‘80s, then consider me baffled by this thing’s existence.

The 2024 Jeep Wrangler Lets You Live Your American Dream
When I , I had a few preconceptions about this fair country. First, I assumed high schoolers all wore the uniforms of their respective pastimes everywhere they went (like cheerleading or playing ball). Secondly, I thought with the roof off. Now, after driving ‘round in a Wrangler with the...

At $10,000, Is This 2012 Acura TSX Wagon Accurately Priced?
Today’s Acura offers all the space a compact wagon affords and a roof rack for even more versatility. It also offers a rebuilt title. Let’s see how flexible you feel about its price after learning that. I have to say that I was honestly surprised at the voting on...

I'm Replacing My Hyundai Coupe With Something More Up To Date! What Car Should I Buy?
Stan has really enjoyed his 2010 Hyundai Genesis coupe, but it’s time for an upgrade and he wants two more doors, all-wheel-drive, and upgraded tech. However, he doesn’t want to give up the fun and performance of the V6 power and he certainly doesn’t want a boring color. What...

At $12,500, Might You Be Open To This 1984 BMW 320i Baur Convertible?
At $12,500, Might You Be Open To This 1984 BMW 320i Baur Convertible?
Today’s 320i was given its open-air top by Karosserie Baur, the same coachbuilder responsible for building BMW’s legendary M1. Let’s see if this car’s price makes it almost as memorable. When it comes to muscle trucks—pickups with performance—it seems that off-road is where it’s at. The Ford Raptor, Ram...

The Nissan Leaf Waited For EVs To Be Popular Just To Go Out Like This
Poor Nissan Leaf. Being first never brought it success. Being cheap with decent range at a time when very few other electric cars are, also, hasn’t paid off. EVs have crossed over into the sort of mundane conversation you have with extended family over Thanksgiving dinner, and still nobody...
