Oldsmobile Corvette Fugtastic



    This just sad. This appears to have been (at one point) a Oldsmobile Cutlass convertible. Up front there are to be 3 bars of chrome across the grille, and overtop of the Olds emblem, and I think some strange chrome pieces above them.

    The sides look to have VW Bug fenders, and the rear ones seem to have another extention on top of this. Chrome side exhausts ad some extra bling to a relatively chrome free side. I really like how the weird bulging fender extensions clash with the Old's original scalloped sides, making it look like the body is dented.

    The rear is where it really gets interesting. There's a - something - over the convertible top. I think it's an attempt at a spoiler, or a very low rollbar. The only thing I'm sure it does do is prevent the top from opening. It's hard to tell in the pictures exactly what it is made of. But it looks like you can see grain - wood maybe? I also like how it's SCREWED into the body (see bottom picture).

    The rear bumper is lifted from a Corvette, and seemlessly integrated into the body. By seemless I mean that it looks like a Cutlass ran over a Corvette in reverse. They did take the time to blend the bumper into the original body along the bottom, but the edge of the trunklid remains untouched as you can see where there are indents for the original Oldmobile taillights.

    On top of the trunk sits a strangely small spoiler (or painted skateboard?). On top of which is a faux jet engine. And on top of that is an antennae. Oh and the trunk has vents for some reason. I don't know why a trunk needs airflow. Maybe so the human captures can breath on their trip back to the home planet.
