French cow, possibly, standing by back of large car (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

limousine

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'large car' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'french cow possibly standing by back' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'cow' could be 'limousin' (I've seen this before) and 'limousin' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'e' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for limousine that I've seen before include "Luxury car" , "Luxurious car (with a chauffeur?)" , "Form of transport" , "Large luxurious car" , "big car" .)
