Most Hollywood types elect to arrive at the Academy Awards red carpet event in a stretched Lincoln Town Car or a full-size SUV. But for those who'd like to make a bit more of a statement, we present a few, er, alternative options, which, while retaining elements of the traditional limo/Chevy Suburban paradigm, raise the bar in atypical and unpredictable ways.
1. Toyota Century Limo
A silent V-12, electrically silenced door latches, and enough menacing Yakuza presence to offset even the worst dress. If it's good enough for a guy whose title is Emperor, it's good enough for June Squibb.

2. Vintage Mercedes-Benz 600
It saddens us that the only contemporary star we can imagine filling the international dictator/playboy/arms dealer/superstar backseat vacated by '70s icons like Ferdinand Marcos, Aristotle Onassis, Pablo Escobar, and Liz Taylor is Sterling Archer, and he's animated.
3. Stretched Jeep Grand Wagoneer
Is Woody Harrelson nominated for anything this year?
4. Tesla Model S
Because Hollywood.
5. Renault Espace F1
Ideal for any French foreign film nominees. And for anyone who is truly famous, a mid-mounted, Formula 1–derived, 800-hp V-10 is just what you need for outrunning the paparazzi. Also, it's gold to match your statue.
6. Marchi Mobile eleMMent Palazzo
All that hair and makeup takes up an inordinate amount of time and space. Why not just get dressed in the car on the ride over? Also, the entire living room elevates hydraulically to reveal a full-size bar, perfect for an after-party.

If you're going to arrive in a truck, arrive in a proper truck.

8. Airbrushed Custom Van
Because an acceptance speech always comes out better if you've done a couple bong rips first.
