most of the converted limos on that page look real, but the IROC just doesn't! Check out the DeLorian though... very interesting limo with rear gullwings!

Yes, it's always possible it's a photoshopped picture....but as
CDN_87IROC
mentioned there are all manner of custom limos these days. If you automatically dismiss it as a manipulated image without any verifiable proof, I must say I find that a bit obtuse.

Upon close inspection of the picture.. it's a photoshop. (though I'd love to see a real one.. that would be serious stylin' for a formal event for one of us thirdgenners )

The shade of color on the sail panel doesn't line up, and it's obvious where an extension took place. The rocker ground effect has lines in it that should be mere pixels.. again, extended (but done rather well). The rear window simply does not appear capable of retracting into that itty-bitty door. Limo tint is usually not applied to the driver's window. The lower half of the back edge of both doors have an almost identical graphical glitch in them. And last, but not least, the bricks in the background look like they've been played with too.

It does, however, look pretty nifty

Yeah,photoshop.You can see a line right behind the 1st door and the brick part as previously mentioned.Magnify the pic and you can see what I'm talking about.

Lets not overlook the door locks on the rear door and the fact that you can see a drivers seat through the back window. That's without enlarging the pic.

And here's why I don't believe it... if the *grass* is photoshopped, chances are the car is too. But that's a good one (ugly roofline tho)

I don't doubt it's been done.. I'd just love to see a real picture.. guess it's time to stop talking smack about the photoshops and do my own research.

EDIT -- and Google says it doesn't exist. limo/limousine/stretch/stretched + camaro/iroc/iroc-z/z-28/thirdgen/3rd gen.... nothing.

I use to work for a limo place that made most everything them self. They were famous for the double decker bus here in Toledo. That two 8hr employees stacked n welded from junk busses. It was really amazing at what they could do with mostly junk cars. The rolls had a chevy 350 drive train.

But I always thought that hotrod limos would be a better draw for business. 57 chevy stretched out with a monster blower and
tires. real hot rod limos that can turn heads at the car show, run good at the track, and smoke em off with 15 people in the back.

There really inst any laws on limos or most any custom build. long as it passes a basic inspection it can be driven. I seen a show where they said Ford was the only real limo maker and they were trying to stop the custom builders.

The windows are dead give away. Even a tinted window had some reflections. THat is what makes the white one harder to tell. the window work was great.

Any every 5th time you open the rear doors the hing pins need replaced and re aligned from the 500lb doors.
