Special Autocult release
I have to chuckle a bit at the use of the term limousine...

I think calling a VW 412 a limosine is kinda special.

Yes, we say limousine when we mean a simple sedan 😉 ...

Where did you find this information.
out of interest? Can't see any mention of this model on their website and I fancy it!

Carl, some of their models are not on the website.
They make a lot of models commissioned by others, and some of them can be seen under the Special Projects on the website, but not all.

An exclusive distributor
I buy a lot of my Autocults from a West Coast distributor and they had access to them.

I got my info from a west coast retailer yesterday - supposed to be out next week.
I bet it's the same one Randy!

So what do they call a real multipassenger limousine?

Older folks call it "Pullman" after the Mercedes Benz 600 Pullman and his successors...
younger people mostly say "limo".
