The Top 5

#1

Cadillac Fleetwood Seventy-Five — 6.41 m

The longest series-production American car ever sold to the public. Built on GM's stretched institutional-market wheelbase, it was a favorite of livery services and funeral homes for nearly two decades.[1]

#2

ZIL-4104 — 6.32 m

The Soviet Union's state limousine, built in tiny numbers for the Politburo. It was officially a production model, though in practice each car was close to hand-built, some with armor plating.[1]

#3

Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman — 6.24 m

The car of choice for heads of state and celebrities alike through the 1960s and 70s, built to order with hydropneumatic self-leveling suspension and, on the longest versions, six or eight doors.[1]

#4

Maybach 62 — 6.17 m

The name is literal: "62" is the car's length in decimeters. It was Mercedes' attempt to out-luxury Rolls-Royce and Bentley with a standalone ultra-luxury marque.[1]

#5

Rolls-Royce Phantom VIII Extended Wheelbase — 5.98 m

The current flagship, stretched specifically to add rear legroom for chauffeured passengers, with rear-hinged "coach" doors that close themselves at the touch of a button.[1]
