    โ€˜The American Dreamโ€™ is the worldโ€™s longest car thatโ€™s basically a super limo! It was built by Jay Ohrberg in 1986 and comes equipped with a swimming pool, golf putting green, and a helipad.

    Itโ€™s been restored by Michael Dezer and extended to be even bigger and better. Itโ€™s so big that it can fit over 75 people inside, measuring over 100 feet in length!

    We had to visit the Dezerland Park Car Museum to check out the car in Orlando, Florida. Let us know what you think of the vehicle in the comments!
