The American Dream offers material luxuries suitable for a king, such as a huge waterbed, a swimming pool with a diving board, a jacuzzi, a bathtub, a mini-golf course, and a helipad that can accommodate more than 75 people.

The world's longest car has finally been restored and is ready to go. On March 1, 2022, the super limo arrived at a length of 30.54 metres (100 feet and 1.50 inches), beating its 1986 record by a fraction.

"The American Dream" was initially created in Burbank, California in 1986 by legendary vehicle customizer Jay Ohrberg and measured 18.28 metres (60 feet), rolled on 26 wheels, and had a pair of V8 engines at the front and back. Ohrberg eventually expanded the limo to an incredible 30.5 metres (100 feet) in length.
