I ride in this to church in this... and FI is getting driven by the best man in a golf cart!! lol (FI best man''s house is literally 5 minutes for the church) they are decoratiing it all up, it''s a vintage golf cart, nothing new here... They did a dry run last night and had plenty juice left with the battery. We are going to have the most interesting pictures to say the least...

Yay! How fun! Are you from the US? I wonder if those can be rented in Pennsylvania? Haha.

I love the golf cart idea! That is fabulous!

it''s very rare, because they never ever made stretch checkered cabs, it''s fully custom, it seats 16 people, but more like 14 comfortably. It was just a checkered that they cut in half. He''s claiming it''s the only stretch checkered cab around... , but maybe only this long and this year model....

I found a 1957 chevy stretch, but it only seated 6 and it was the same price. They are out there... somewhere. I''m fortunate enough to live realitively close to NYC, which is where is gets driven alot for "night on the towns." This checkered went to a big wedding at St. Patricks Cathedral in NYC, and some million dollar socialite rented it for a night on the town. He showed me the newpaper article it was cool! She was really crazy and had checkered taxi shoes and a taxi checkered moo moo.
It almost saw it''s last days a few years back, as the owner got into a head on colision with it and had to cancel a lot of weddings, in fact one that day!! The poor bride had her cake modeled after it!!
