Here we have a very big Lincoln Navigator, seen on a second-hand car market in Beijing. Length was 12 meters and I could take it for just under 2 million yuan or 313.000 USD. The whole 12 meter long monster was imported from a dealer in California. Ford, always eager to miss a chance to make money, doesn’t sell any Lincolns in China, while the wealthy Chinese absolutely dig the Navigator.
I talked for a while with a salesman and he told me they sold a Navigator almost every day. All cars come from dealers on the US West Coast, some brand-new, some second-hand. This stretched example was new and the biggest they ever bought. Likely buyer would be a wedding company or some rich party-maniac but nobody had showed any serious interest yet.
Too long for my camera! Inside, the man said, was a disco, but he didn’t have the key to let me see. Bad!, but I believe him, what else would be inside?
A Navigator as far as the eye can see…
You find these around most big cities and especially Las Vegas.
They are rented out for moving party groups. The disco inside is quite common on the ones this large.
This is typical of the inside of one on these things.

Not sure how they would use it in China, for a wedding wouldn’t surprise me but I thought Weddings in China were more about supercars than party barges.
