History of Limo Service

When you hear the word luxury limousine you also assume there is a chauffer, one of the great benefits to hiring a Philadelphia limo service. Chauffeurs have been around since the time of stage coaches, when the rich and famous were transported in covered wagons while a driver in front braved ill-weather and took care of the horses. In today’s limo services a chauffer is often your first resource for information on a cool place to go and your safe designated driver for the night.

A very brief history of limousines is that the first stretch limos started appearing in the 1930’s and were often referred to as “big band buses” because they were often used by band members for transport between shows, and they have evolved ever since. Some of the most famous limos in modern times include presidential limousines involved in the Kennedy Assassination, the 1924 Lincoln used by President Coolidge and the world’s longest limo that is over a hundred feet long.

The height of growth in the industry may have been in the 1930s when they became popular among those in the growing cinema industry. Can you remember a time when actresses didn’t step out of a limo at the Oscars? As film budgets have grown so have the limousines, and you can get a stretch anything as companies have done everything from VW Beetles to Rolls Royces. Currently the Philadelphia luxury limousine and chauffer industry is being heavily affected by the economic downturn, so you may be able to snag a deal on a great ride if you fancy a night on the town.

Our driver arrived a few minutes early, was professional, courteous and got us to the airport for our early morning flight without any problem! The car was immaculate and comfortable. I especially liked the 24 hour and 2 hour trip notification that was sent via email. It was reassuring to know they were following up. I highly recommend Corporate Sedan for any transportation needs!
