Traditionally, the <a href=" ">limo hire</a> has been an extension of a large sedan. A longer frame and wheelbase allow the rear passenger compartment to contain the usual forward facing passenger seat but with a substantial amount of footroom — more than is actually needed. Usually then two "jump seats" are mounted, facing rearward behind the driver <a href="http://www.booklimo.co.uk/">limo hire</a>.
These seats fold up when not in use. In this way, up to five persons can be carried in the aft compartment in comfort, and up to two additional persons carried in the driver's compartment, for a total capacity of seven passengers in addition to the luxury car. This type of seat configuration has however become less popular in recent limousines.
Newer limousines such as the Maybach 62, Audi Maybach 62, Audi A8L, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Hummer H2, Leyland Miracle, BMW 760li, Lincoln Town Car <a href="http://limo-hire.freehostia.com/">limo hire</a>.
L Edition, and the Cadillac DTS do not feature such seats since stretch limousines are usually used to transport more than three passengers, excluding the limo hire driver. In production American limousine hire however, the jump seats almost always faced forward. The last production limousine, by Cadillac, with forward facing jump seats was in 1987, the last Packard in 1954, and the last Lincoln in 1939, though Lincoln has offered <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limousine">limo hire</a> through their dealers as special order vehicles from time to time. Vehicles of these luxury cars in private use may contain expensive audio players, televisions, video players, and bars, often with refrigerators.
It is simpler and more straightforward to determine the effects of altering a separate chassis than it is to determine the effects of altering a load-bearing unit body. For this reason, the automobile of choice for conversion into stretch <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxury_car/">luxury car</a> is currently the Lincoln Town Car, whose Panther platform is one of the last remaining automotive platforms using a separate load-bearing chassis. However, coachbuilders have recently built many new models of luxury cars <a href="http://limo-hire3.freehostia.com/">limo hire</a>
based on SUVs with separate load-bearing chassis, including Hummer H2s and
Another type of vehicle modified for multiple passenger use is the motorized stage, applied to the same tasks as the earlier stagecoach. It is not considered a true <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limousine/">livery vehicles</a> but rather in its design and application is between a sedan and a bus. While a bus will have a central interior aisle for access to seating, a stage has multiple doors that allow access to transverse forward facing seats. Examples of the type were constructed not only from sedans <a href="http://limo-hire9.freehostia.com/">limo hire</a> (e.g., Chrysler New Yorker, Cadillac DeVille), but also from station wagons; many of the station wagon conversions sported a large rack, running the length of the roof, for carrying the passengers' baggage.
This type of vehicle was once rather common in some locations. An example of its use was in the transport of travelers arriving by railroad at Merced, California to Glacier National Park and Yosemite National Park <a href="http://limo-hire6.freehostia.com/">limo hire</a> in the first half of the 20th century. In Glacier National Park, these were referred to as "Jammers" in reference to the nickname of their gear-jamming drivers. In Yosemite, passengers would then stay in rustic platform tent camps or more expensive lodges and hike or rent bicycles for movement around the park
