Can't see enough detail to tell if Standard, Deluxe or Super 8 so will just list as 8. And how can we even say it is a limo?? -- Last edit: 2010-08-29 17:15:57

If that's so, than this definitively must be a Custom 8 too. -- Last edit: 2011-07-25 12:34:23
Commander 57 ◊ 2011-07-25 15:24	If that is the same car, then it is definitely a Custom 8. Clearly carries Custom 8 rear trim. (I guess the cormorant hood ornament is just missing from this vehicle.)
