Collection of Stretched Cars (28 pics)

A limousine or limo is a luxury vehicle sedan or saloon car, especially one with a lengthened wheelbase or driven by a chauffeur. The chassis of a limousine may have been extended by the manufacturer or by an independent coach builder. These are referred to as "stretch" limousines and are traditionally black or white in color. Limousines are usually liveried vehicles, driven by professional chauffeurs. As the most expensive form of automobile ground transportation, limousines are culturally associated with extreme wealth or power, and are commonly cited as an example of conspicuous consumption. Among the less wealthy, limousines are also often hired during special events (most commonly weddings and funerals).While some limousines are owned by individuals, many are owned by governments to transport senior politicians, by large companies to transport executives, or by broadcasters to transport guests.

Bulky Road Trains (18 pics)

A road train or roadtrain is a trucking concept used in remote areas of Argentina, Australia, Mexico, the United States and Canada to move bulky loads efficiently. The term "road train" is most often used in Australia. In the U.S. and Canada the terms "triples," "Turnpike doubles" and "Rocky Mountain doubles" are commonly used for longer combination vehicles (LCVs). A road train consists of a relatively conventional tractor unit, but instead of pulling one trailer or semi-trailer, the road train pulls two or more of them. These should not be confused with land trains, which are relatively lightweight vehicles used for moving passengers.(wiki)

Impressive Cardboard Vehicles (17 pics)

Life-size cardboard vehicles
Sometimes only a full-scale representation will get your idea across. Shannon Goff, a member of the Detroit based Telegraph artist collective, is responsible for some truly amazing cardboard sculptures.

Shannon's Helicopter, is constructed from corrugated cardboard and measures 165" x 378" x 81.5".

Chris Gilmore's work, such as this Model A Ford, is built from unwanted cardboard and cigarette packets. Also check out his Aston Martin DB8, the ultimate luxury vehicle rendered in throwaway materials. I'm not sure 007 would approve.
