Accord Limo is Ready to Pick Up the Kids for Prom Night

1984 Honda Accord Limo

Looking to start a limo service? Then this Accord stretch limo may be the ticket to success after a trip to the car wash.

1984 was a landmark year. Ronald Reagan won his second term as U.S. president in a landslide. The Chicago White Sox and Milwaukee Brewers played the longest-ever game in Major League Baseball history. The Celtics beat the Lakers in Game 7 of the NBA Finals. And Honda began building the Accord at its Marysville, Ohio plant.

Little did anyone know someone crazy enough would buy a 1984 Accord, cut it in half, and attach a stretch section to create a limo, though. But someone did, and someone else has put up such a creature up for sale on Craigslist.

There’s not much info about this Accord stretch limo. The seller is in San Bernardino, California (about 55 miles east of Downtown Los Angeles), the Accord ran when parked in 2017, and $20,000 was put into the limo. It’s definitely a product of its time, though, from the old mini TV and corded car phone, to the wood drawers under the rear seats.

The owner of this “professionally built” Accord stretch limo has a clean title for it, and the motor apparently turns over. All it needs is “some TLC,” someone with $1,000 “Or Best offer? Or trades,” and, perhaps, a dream of starting their own limo service with an Eighties theme. Add some graphics, a few neon lights, and a fresh Pioneer sound system to play Bruce Springsteen and Duran Duran, and you’ll have one bitchin’ Accord stretch limo to take some kids to their senior prom.
