Did You Know?

Where did the word "limousine" come from?

The term "limousine" originates from the Limousin region of France. Early motor cars had a covered compartment for passengers and an open driver's seat โ€” the driver's hooded cloak resembled those worn by shepherds in Limousin. By the early 1900s, the name stuck for any luxury chauffeured vehicle.
