Original Title: TIL that the limousine was named for the Limousin horse from the Limousin region of France, a now-extinct breed that was merged into the modern Selle Français breed in 1958. The Limousin horse was bred as a “luxury” riding and carriage horse, being a favorite mount of French aristocrats and royalty.
