The 1981 Honda Accord LX Limousine is an incredibly rare,
custom-built coach classic that takes the definition of an "economy
car" and stretches it to the absolute limit. This specific vehicle
represents a bizarre slice of 1980s car culture, combining the
legendary reliability of a first-generation Accord with the
high-roller amenities of a luxury livery vehicle.Exterior &
