I don't know how these things keep finding me, but another poor, suffering Oldsmobile found its way into my inbox...





I can't even begin to understand what some of the crap slapped onto this Pepto-ldsmobile is (let alone what it does), but there sure is a LOT of it. So I don't drive myself crazy by guessing, if you can identify these "accessories" I'd appreciate it (especially that thing on the front bumper and the metal rod racks atop the front fenders).

[Boy, if I was going to get this involved in "customizing" a car--please shoot me if that happens--I'd at LEAST spend the time crafting correct-looking lettering for my badges... ]

 

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.....

 

At some point, I need to dig out the pics of my original 66 starfire that I had entered in the school auto show years ago. the car was already trashed, so I had installed a ton of extra trim parts I had around, and made a scoop out of a shoebox. I think I had the roofrack off an impala wagon, the big old jet off a mid-50's olds, some spotlight rearview mirrors and motorcycle pipes hung under the rear bumper among other things. The only feasible trophy I could go after with it was "ugliest of show" and I won! Had one other contendor going for that in my group, but I managed to get the edge on him.

Somehow got this guy's business card - can't remember what he calls himself...I'll have to dig it out and post later - he wears a matching pink suit and this car is apparently a mobile juke box - was a hardtop that the top was removed from - weddings, proms, etc...

Give him points for originality -

 

Mary Kay sales woman who DJs on the side?

this should clear up the "what". i'm not sure a lifetime of explanation could explain the"why".

 

Well up front looks like a cooler.....for beers that is. On top of the fenders looks like spears or thin rockets. The pipe coming out of the wheel well and going down the side of car is.....I dunno an exhaust???

 

thats a very neat car
