The Icha-boat Is Briefly Seen in "The Bodyguard," with Whitney Houston and Kevin Cosner

As seen in "The Bodyguard," with Whitney Houston and Kevin Cosner.

We watched the funeral of Whitney Houston, then felt obliged to watch "The Bodyguard," where she starred with Kevin Cosner.

In one scene there is a small riot. Kevin Cosner rescues her and they leave in the limousine.

I said, "Look. They are riding in the Icha-boat." I caught two glimpses of their car, and it was exactly like our model.

I did a little research and found they were using a stretch model of the Lincoln Town Car, which was in several other films.

A repairman said our model is called the limousine model, and it was reputedly the longest car made in America. We did not get the stretch version.

Another source claims the Town Car is so sturdy because the platform was designed for police cars.
