The Fiat 500 Limo Adds a Little More Legroom to the Iconic Auto
Michael Hines — May 25, 2012 — Autos
It would have been a major coup to Ford if Jennifer Lopez had arrived for the American Idol finale in this Fiat 500 limo. The Italian micro-car, recently brought back to America, has been stretched to provide the ultimate in fuel-efficient luxury.
The 500 is one of Italy's most iconic cars, so this definitely isn't the first time that someone has turned it into a limo. However, it is the first time that someone has taken the new 500 and gave it a little more legroom. This Fiat 500 limo may be a one-of-a-kind at the moment, but don't be shocked if a few more show up on the scene in the upcoming months. The 500 is slowly taking America by storm. It's only a matter of time before Escalade and Hummer limos are phased out in favor of Fiats.
