That's a Syd Mead painting (if you don't already know this). Mead was an conceptual illustrator in the automobile industry whose speculative renderings (like this one) as well as his car paintings for GM, Ford etc. got Hollywood interested in him. His first big movie project was Blade Runner (he designed the flying "Spinner" cars) and then he worked on Tron doing vehicle design (including those two-wheeled cars that race across graph paper). That painting's from a book called "Dragon's Dream," which I have. Great stuff!
You run a classy joint, dude.
That limo was also made into a Hotwheel a few years back (and has re-appeared with many re-paints since) http://hotwheels.wikia.com/wiki/Sentinel_400_Limo
I never realized that this pic was so influencial in pop culture.
