Patricia became the pioneer in limousine design. She envisioned a luxurious interior with a distinctive beverage area off to the side. . Despite initial skepticism from the coach builder, Carlos Allan, her vision was realized. The resulting vehicles, available in a variety of colors, and she set a new standard for elegance in the limousine industry.

By the Los Angeles 1984 Olympics, the industry had grown exponentially from only one company in 1979 to over 800 companies. And today this industry has grown to over thousand companies throughout Southern California.

This marked the beginning of a diverse fleet, including stretch limousines, Mercedes Party Bus Sprinters, and a wide range of party buses accommodating 15 to 50 passengers.
