My '76 Delta 88 Town Sedan was 234 inches long bumper tip to bumper tip. It wouldn't fit in my garage.

If there were, it was Russian.

Interesting fact: the 1931 Bugatti Royale Kellner Coupe was 8 inches longer than the above, while sporting two less doors...

I do think also that the Cadillac limousine in 70's was the longest but not much as the already mentioned Butatti Royale was only 0.2 inch shorter (they were hand built cars so I guess the length would be different if they would be actually measured).

The longest Russian limousine is ZIL 41047 that is mere 6,330 mm (249.2 in) long.

Well, the 75 was their factory limousine (back when limousines were elegant and not blinged-out prommobiles), so you expect it to be long. Of course, the standard Series 60 was still 227.5 inches, which is big, but I would honestly claim is the proper length for a full-size luxury sedan.
