San Francisco Classic Car Rentals | San Francisco Travel Blog - Part 2
Maserati Limo Listed on eBay
Maserati is one of those brands that car lovers all over the world immediately identify with and feel a bit wistful because so few of us can afford one. Names like Rolls-Royce and Bentley evoke similar feelings but for very different reasons. Here at NLS Limo, we love luxury vehicles of all kinds, but we have very strong feelings about which brands should remain high-end performance machines (like Maseratis) and which should remain stately luxury limousines (like Rolls and Bentley.) When we heard about a 10-passenger Maserati limousine being auctioned on eBay, our lead mechanic had to be rushed to the hospital. Such a thing was inconsistent with his worldview, and the thought of a fine Italian performance machine grafted to the body of a limo was just too much.
Rent a Classic Car to Head to the Sonoma Historic Motorsport Festival
As you know, we’re very fond of cars around here, but we’re especially fond of classic cars. One of our mechanics mentioned that the Second Annual Sonoma Historic Motorsport Festival is coming up on June 4-5 at Infineon Raceway. If you’re a classic car fan, this is becoming one of the best shows in the country. If you love old, beautiful cars or if you’re looking for a cool day trip to get out of the city, why not rent one of our San Francisco classic cars and head up there for the day or the weekend? There will be more than 250 classic cars from the state of California alone and hundreds more from other states across the country.
Mercedes Limousine Once Owned by Elvis Presley Sold in U.K.
A Mercedes-Benz limo once owned by the King of Rock and Roll sold recently in England for much less than the seller expected. Elvis Presley’s powder-blue 1970 Mercedes 600 Saloon Limousine sold for £80,700 or around U.S. $127,522. This Mercedes limo was one of two 600-class limousines Elvis owned and one of only a few that he had registered in his name. The limo sold in an auto auction organized by Bonhams at Mercedes-Benz World in Surrey.
