In our day and age of automotive downsizing (Smart car is all you really need) these atrocious exercises in overblown style and scale remain popular, mostly because you don't have to own one of these yourself.
The modest, normal-looking stretches of the 60s and 70s look positively primitive today and completely lost their jaw-dropping factor, so the limo companies go for the utmost SUV jugular and start outfitting tractor trailers, tanks, and the whole trains (Dr. Evils of the world seem to like blinged-out trains with nuclear missiles on board)

It is said that "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" - and if you are in the excitable, inebriated or "devil may care" mood, then beholding these super-limos should not be a problem for you. All you need is a sunroof with shrieking ladies holding champagne - and away you go into a nightclub-filled city mist.

I doubt James Bond would be caught riding in some of these blinged out monstrosities (or maybe only to please his female companion). Additionally, no comment is necessary about their esthetic design value. It's not the point, really... you want marriage of form and function, then go ride in a Smart car.
British Midland Limos Ltd keeps a no-holds-barred fleet of monstrous Hummers:
Triple Axle Hummer Limo
Pink Hummer Limo - Bli-i-i-i-ing!
Three TVs, laser lights, strobes, 1800 watt sound system, Disco Floor, star lights, optic lights, pink leather interior, 22" Chrome alloy wheels. Very popular with ladies on their night around town.
