 Maybe there should be a new category? Airport limousine is appropriate (there are other cars that fit this, such as the old Chevy Suburban airport limo, with 4 doors on each side, which oddly enough, was built at the Checker factory).

 Well, it is still close to the stretched limousines, so I think that they can go in the same category.

I agree. What became the "stretchlimo-mania" during the 70s/ 80s (when everybody and his brother commenced offering this kind of vehicle), once started out as the idea of building passenger car based people movers in the mid-20s. So the airport limo is the actual ancestor of the stretched limousines we know today for pleasure/ business/ funeral/ whatever use.

Pioneers in that field were Armbruster & Company of Fort Smith/ Arkansas (later Armbruster/ Stageway).
