Called The American Dream, the car started out as six separate Cadillac Eldorados. The original version, built in 1986 by Jay Ohrberg, was 60 feet long. He later extended it another 40 feet, when it captured the world record for the longest vehicle. Eventually, it was abandoned in a warehouse in New Jersey.
After a few stints on eBay, the car eventually found its way into the hands of Michael Dezer of Dezerland Park Car Museum in Orlando, Fla. Together with a team that included Michael Manning, whom Dezer purchased the vehicle from, he set about restoring it. Three years and more than $250,000 later, The American Dream is once again in top condition, and with another 1.5 inches added to its length, it beat its previous record as the world’s longest vehicle.
