I like the storm window in the roof. And the purple door sills.

Actually, I kinda like the whole thing - looks homemade, which you don't see much anymore.

Apparently this is what you do when your quarters and fenders literally rust off the car. And I think WTF are three letters that could describe this car as well.

Yikes! The thing has won awards. The judges must have felt sorry for the guy's lack of talent.

I particularly liked the blue dot '59 Cadillac tail light lens, but I do have a question: Are those windows on the top, or solar panels? You are right, Joe, and everybody, this one takes the #1 UGLI Award. Yuuuccchhhhhhh!

It makes me think of something I would see Tina Turner and Mel Gibson driving. I wonder if he includes a pair of chaps and a hockey mask with the car?

The bids are from the local aluminum recyclers! Or perhaps an extremely wealthy person looking for an ultimate gag gift. Think of the possibilities of entertainment value!! I would like to have it for a couple of weeks just to mess with my neighbors and co workers! Go visit the in laws with it,,,and stay the night! Take it to church! Park it out in the parking lot at Pebble Beach, or Amelia Island Concourse DeElegance! You know you would smile so hard it would hurt if one of your friends rolled that car into your driveway!

This guy obviously had a lot of free time on his hands to fabricate this. I have to give him credit for workmanship but definitely not taste.

"It's his car and he can do whatever he wants to it, however this is most unfortunate"

Actually a spokesman for Rolls Royce said that of Beatle John Lennon when he had his Silver Cloud painted psychedelic style in the '60s, but it holds true with this or any car.
