Description
The 'Midnight Rider' tractor/trailer is the world's heaviest and largest limousine, as of 2004. The limo is a 22-wheel rig attached to a 435hp Cummins-powered Peterbilt truck. At 25 tons, the Rider can do 90 mph (144 kph) on flat surfaces and 40 mph (64 kph) on 6% inclines, and can carry 40 passengers in comfort. It has four entertainment areas: three lounges and a full-size bar. There's the Pullman Lounge, the Observation Lounge, the Fifth Wheel Lounge and the Jake Brake Bar, each with a sound system and flatscreen TV. Interior space is at 416 square feet (38.6 square meters) across the four areas, separated by stairs. An interior phone system allows guests from the three lounges to call down to the bar and order drinks to be brought up to them. With a tank of a 300-gallon capacity, the Rider can make the trip from San Diego to Chicago without having to stop to refuel. Midnight Rider is also the heaviest limousine, weighing 50,560 pounds (22,933 kilograms). It is 70 feet (21.3 meters) long and 13 feet 8 inches (4.1 meters) high. It began operating on September 3, 2004. The vision of the previous owner was to build a limousine unlike any other in the world, one that would help guests relive the glory days of luxury railroad transportation. For that, they looked to the Pullman railroad car used by President Grant, and they set out to build a limousine that would embody the styling of that era. This means no plastics, composites, veneers, imitations, powder-coatings or staples used for interior furnishes, but only authentic fabrics, polished brass railings and fixtures, and solid birch wood. The result is a sharp contrast to the exterior, and it's precisely that which gives this limo an extra edge. The Rider is technically a tractor-trailer limousine, one that was 90 percent built in-house, by a team of only five people. Putting it together was done in phases over the course of 7 years, and most of the process was trial and error, as the team submitted the rig to various agencies for clearance. **TITLED AS 0000 SPCNS** **SOLD AS A PAIR WITH LOT #1318.1**
