Traditional versus Modern Aurora Limousine
Aurora is a small town in the York Region of Ontario, Canada. The affluent town has a population of 47,629 according to the 2006 census results and a 2010 estimate of 53,892. The town is located in the Greater Toronto Area or GTA. Given the fact that the town is affluent and the fact that it is in the GTA, it follows that there are man Aurora limousine services in the town. These limo services have traditional and modern limos and it is important that you know the difference between the two options.
A modern Aurora limousine is a limousine that is still in use in Aurora. Examples of modern limousines are the Maybach 62, the Rolls Royce Phantom, the Audi A8L, the Volkswagen Phaeton, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the Jaguar XJ, the BMW 7-Series, the Lincoln Town Car Edition, and the Cadillac DTS. These limousines do come with jump seats. This is because stretch limos are usually used to ferry more than 3 passengers (minus the driver). Limousines today are made as normal cars and it is up to the limousine services to specify what they want. The construction process basically involves the elongation of the chassis by the coach builder who is contracted by the Aurora limousine service and the installation of the necessary fittings. Most of the limos are either 6 passenger limos, 8 passenger limos, and 10 passenger limos. The 6 passenger limos have 2 opposing seats and they can seat 4 adults comfortable and up to 6 passengers. The average 6-seater stretches about 80 inches from a standard vehicle. The 8 passenger limo has 2 opposing seats with a middle section, while some have rear seats and J configuration seats. These limos are stretched 100 inches from standard vehicle. Other modern limos carry 10 passengers and 12 passengers, with SUV limousine being capable of carrying 14 passengers and party buses being capable of carrying 18, 28 and 38 passenger, according to the model.
Traditional Aurora limousine are very difficult to come by since they are no longer in production. An example of a traditional limousine is the Lincoln Limousine, variations of which has been used by different U.S. Presidents over the years. These limos featured longer frames than standard cars with wheelbases that allowed the rear compartments to contain the usual forward-facing passenger seat, but with a substantial amount of foot room, in most cases more that was needed. The limos usually featured 2 ‘jump seats’ facing rearward behind the driver and these seats folded up when not in use. Although this type of configuration of seats is less popular today, it is still used in such cars as the famous Black Cabs of London.
