Page 1 By Paul Hirshson Globe Staff David Porrazzo of Danvers "always refer to me as Mr.

Hollywood" runs a limousine service and is used to speaking In superlatives. "We're the greatest, we're a first-class operation," he Is fond of saying. But when his latest creation arrived In Boston, words seemed to fall him. "It's humongous it's awesome, totally awesome" was all he could muster. Which it is.

Totally. It's a limousine that looks sort of like a car, but it's as long as a bus 40 feet long, with eight wheels on four axles. He calls it the Dynasty Coach, designed to make you feel like the Carringtons, traveling in an opulent fantasy. Porrazzo, or Mr. Hollywood, that Is, claims that It Is the longest operational limousine In commercial use In the country.

There are longer limousines, as Scott Fletcher of Limousine and Chauffeur magazine points out. But one, a 50-footer with a swimming pool, is not operational, and another, a 60-footer that Is functional. Is in the hands of a private collector. The Dynasty Coach was built in Michigan, and it took six months and cost $150,000, Porrazzo said. It Is built on a Lincoln chassis, weighs about five tons, and gets about 10-1 1 miles per gallon.

The Inside looks like someone's Idea for the Inside of a Playboy airplane. It Is a sea of red crushed velvet, with seating for about 12 people. Gadgets abound, such as television sets, a VCR and a disc player, telephones, bars, Ice chests, a coffee warmer, an Intercom and a stereo. There are sun roofs and moon roofs and smoked glass. A red velvet partition separates the driver from the passengers.

For private parties. But the most appealing part is the rumble seat, an anachronistic appendage in the rear, last popular in the 1930s, which seats two In open-air fash-Ion on a red leather seat. It will soon have Its own TV and stereo, and an Intercom to connect passengers with the driver, about 30 feet forward In the bow. "This is the stretch of all stretches."
