Doug's Take
I can't believe I'm seeing this with my own eyes! This custom-built limousine has two passenger compartments, two soft-top roofs, and about two city blocks' worth of wheelbase and street presence – and with cabins trimmed in teak wood, Rolls-Royce Connolly leather, and Wilton wool carpet, it should be supremely comfortable, too. Plus, while this might look like a century-old vintage rod, it was reportedly built on a stretched Mercury Grand Marquis chassis, which adds some modernity. This is certainly an interesting and bizarre limousine, and I'm thrilled to offer it on Bid Wheels.
Highlights
2005 Custom "Warley" Limousine, finished in blue and gray with dual black soft tops and a black interior.
This limousine is a one-off custom vehicle designed in the Neoclassic style, and christened with the name "Warley." It was reportedly built on a stretched Mercury Grand Marquis frame, according to the selling dealer, and is powered by a Ford-sourced 460-cubic-inch V8 engine.
Reportedly custom-built in 2005 to celebrate "A Life's Dream Fulfilled" for its owners, this limousine borrows styling cues from elegant, pre-war classic cars — but is underpinned by modern Ford mechanicals. Going far beyond the "usual" coachwork of other Neoclassic cars, the "Warley" limo features four seats split between two individual passenger compartments, truly luxurious appointments, and proportions and styling that should make keeping a low profile as realistic as opening a Burger King franchise on the moon.
Power comes from a 460-cubic-inch Ford V8. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a Ford 4-speed automatic transmission.
