In the late 1980s, Jay Ohrberg had a dream. One of Hollywood’s top car customizers, he had built KITT from “Knight Rider,” Herbie from “Herbie the Love Bug,” and the “Back to the Future” DeLorean. Now he aimed for a place in the record books with the longest car ever built, a Cadillac limousine that stretched 100 feet, with 26 wheels, a helipad, waterbed, putting green, and jacuzzi. He called it the American Dream. Depending on whom you asked, others called it a marvel or monstrosity.

Perhaps inevitably, the limo fell into disrepair.

But a second act is now in the works. In 2019, the limousine was broken into two parts and shipped to a car museum in Orlando that is restoring it to its former glory. Motor1.com | Autotrader
