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-September 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.

A 1984 BMW 745i Turbo for $2,800?
A 1984 BMW 745i Turbo for $2,800?
At what point does price supersede common sense? Today's factory turbo BMW E23 is cheap, but will its copious description of fabulousness and foibles make its low price seem daunting? Yesterday's received the same response as would some sort of freaky June Bug unexpectedly ricocheting around your bedroom late at...

This 1971 Ford Torino Wagon Wants $5,900
This 1971 Ford Torino Wagon Wants $5,900
Today's Ford is green on the outside and gold within. The classic mid-sized wagon looks to be in great shape, but will its demand for your green and gold leave you feeling blue? Yesterday's came away with a solid 77% Nice Price win. That affirmation of value was so strong...

Could A Grey Market 1989 Nissan Pao Be Worth $5,899?
On the classic TV sitcom The Honeymooners, Jackie Gleason's character, Ralph Kramden, was famous for saying to people 'pow, right in the kisser.' Today's Nissan Pao is a JDM special, but you can buy it here, if its price isn't a punch in the teeth. It's hard to imagine that...

Modern Cars Are Too Complicated To Own Forever
I have a few friends who own old Volvos. Of course, what I really mean by this is: I have a few friends who are constantly asking me for rides home from the local Swedish car repair place. There's my neighbor, Ward, the proud owner of a 1996 850 sedan,...
