GL Limousine is an abomination.

Check it out here: GL Limousine is an abomination.

An actual stretched out GL limo would actually be a pretty sweet ride. But, this thing is pure deception. Sticking a GL front end to the front of an Excursion does not make it a Mercedes.

Steel Grey 2012 ML350 is wife's
More often than not, when you see a Mercedes, Bently or Rolls-Royce limo, it's probably a re-faced Lincoln or Caddy.

One of my ex-tenants was in the limo biz and I saw all sorts of interesting tricks of the trade, I even watched him stretch a few. He would literally cut a body-on-frame vehicle in half and slide railroad "rails" into each half of the hollow frames for the stretch.

I always though that for my safety, I would never ride in any limo built like that.

you are right, front bumper + side fenders look like is one piece, maybe fiberglass, maybe engine is from a ford excursion
