This thread got me to thinking about other lengthy vehicles I’ve seen (and a few I’d like to see, besides).
There used to be a vehicle made by the Checker company. It was an extended-length sedan or station wagon with multiple rows of seats, each row having its own set of doors (there’s a rusting hulk of one not far distant with four doors per side). Does anyone make anything like this any more?
I’ve ridden in articulated buses. Does anyone make articulated limousines?
What is the longest road-going passenger vehicle ever? I know there are some very long stretch limos that are not licensable for regular street use (they have to get a parade permit to use them, IIRC). What’s the longest licensable street-legal passenger vehicle?
What is the longest (non-railed) wheeled vehicle ever? ISTR seeing some pic of an articulated vehicle hundreds of feet long (perhaps shorter – I was a small fry when I saw the pic) that was being developed for some obscure purpose. It was almost like a train without tracks. What the heck was that thing?
