Hope it's not a repost, as I don't know which car it is. But if you know, a point is yours.

As I said, I don't know which car is it, so you have to support your guess with some evidence.

I don't think so. Any proof of that?

I see, but I believe the ads just refers to it as an "Excalibur" meaning a retro-style car.
I believe Studhamsmudger is right saying it's based on a Mitsuoka Le Seyde. In fact, the front and the wings look much more similar to a Mitsuoka than to a genuine Excalibur.
The point still unknown is: who made it as a wedding-car, actually?

I don't think it's a Le Seyde. I have been having a look and I see photos of other retro-styled cars and limos from Ukraine that have the exact same mudguard shapes. They are all based on Lincoln Town Cars, but I can't find the name of the company that transforms them.

I think I found it now. The company is called VIP-LIM. There is a whole gallery in their web site of the car being built, so I think they must have done it. Here are a couple of pics from it.

Very good! The picture, just for info, is taken in Morocco. But it looks having no connection with the country of origin of the car.

By the way, they should think about a digital marketing manager to boost their sales, if those are the picture currently on their website, aimed to convince customers to buy their high-quality products.  ;D

Morocco?? Someone took this cumbersome contraption all the way from Ukraine to Morocco? That is crazy.  :o
