Limousine Company in Mesquite
​

If you are thinking of a limo rental and more specifically a limo company in Mesquite, you are familiar with some of the more common vehicles used as limo rentals by limo companies. However, you may not be entirely familiar with the name of Jay Ohrberg who is a famous customiser of cars and his belt some of the best-known cars feature in movies and television like the Knight Riders Kitt, the DeLorean from Back to the Future or the Ford Gran Torino which was featured in Starsky and Hutch. He has also built a vehicle not as famous but probably his most impressive Called the American Dream. It is a 100 foot limo range in the middle with 26 wheels, a helipad, a Jacuzzi and a number of rooms but are now appears to be abandoned in a parking lot.
 
In the late 1980s, 0hrberg thought about creating the world's longest car so he started to build the American Dream which was initially on the platform of the 1970s Cadillac Eldorado. However, there is very little of the Eldorado which is left except for the grill in the front, the design of the wheel and a few pieces of trim. This is because the vehicle was required to be modified extensively in order to stretch out to 100 feet long and these modifications included placing six wheels in the front, a hinge in the middle and a dozen wheels at the back. Then there were the extravagant modifications such as a helipad in the back and there are a few photographs available of a helicopter actually sitting on that thing. The real end of the limo also included a Jacuzzi with photographs of people enjoying themselves and you can start to understand that because of the weight of the helipad and the weight of the water in the Jacuzzi, while so many wheels were necessary for support.
 
Obviously, there would be problems driving 100 foot vehicle which would probably be almost undrivable so the creator came up with an idea. The car was built in two sections hinge in the middle like some of the accordion style buses in major cities. The result was that, at least in theory, the car could negotiate some turns though it could have been a real beast to drive even with the hinge. In fact there are several photographs of the car broken down into sections being transported around on the back of a trailer. Because of the issues to do with drivability, it was unlikely that they car got very much use and because of its near zero utility, it wasn't particularly popular. The vehicle is currently in bad shape sitting in a parking lot with missing wheels, visible damage to the body, are largely stripped interior, missing wheels and so on. A few reports in 2014 suggested that the vehicle was salvage by the
 
Autoseum in Mineola New York which is a group focused on teaching people how to work on cars.
