Getting Our Business Ready to Roll

Picking up were I left off. We headed to Georgia to pick up our first limo. Now keep in mind we knew nothing about limos and didn't know what to expect. So we pulled up to the gun shop that was selling the limo to us. Ya a guy that runs a gun shop and limo service. Only in the south... Josh actually turned out to be a great guy and soon to be a big help in the growth of our new biz. The limo was a 91 Lincoln 10 passenger that had been parked in a barn for months. It needed to be cleaned and would need some work but the price was right. We paid $5,500. For Betsy as she would become known as.

The ride home was cool. We got a lot of looks and thumbs up. We knew this was gonna be fun. My wife hit the ground running with all the necessary paperwork to get our biz legal and rolling. My first order was to take this 28 foot car to my work and see what it needed. After doing all necessary repairs and many long nights we got Betsy looking awesome. Here is what she looked like when we were done.

Not bad for an old girl !!!

As of August 1st 2006 we had a cool Limo, Elegant Limousines of Palm Coast was now Incorporated and we had all permits and insurance to operate. But we had no customers !! First thing we needed was a website. We didn't know anything about websites or the Internet for that. Luckily my wife had a friend who's husband did websites and needed some car repairs done. Sooo we made a trade. I fixed his Toyota and we got a nice new website. But still no customers. ......
