Blech!  Nouveau riche tasteless!

Oh, and BTW, it's "All that gliSters ..."   ;)

From Willy Wavadagger's Merchant of Venice:

QuoteAll that glisters is not gold,
Often have you heard that told;
Many a man his life hath sold
But my outside to behold:
Gilded tombs do worms infold.

I was using a bit of poetic licence there ! Didn't quite sound the same with Glisters, not to mention how many would understand it.

As you might expect, this car was "created" and I use the term loosely, for a Las Vegas auto accessory show.

I don't know, it's a toss up between the Pen Guy's w126 and the sparkling mosaic.

Yes but I'd like to see it again.  There were some more detail pics in the previous thread and some pretty good parts identification by people.  I was impressed but no idea where to start to look for the relevant thread.  What is it?

Lucifer's abomination!  That's what.   ;D

created by someone that couldnt make up their mind what they wanted. Or it was the anti-christs new ride

It's an Imperial front end, with two W126's conjoined - if that's the right word for such a creation.

at least now we know where that guy with the leopard print interior/matt black exterior 450 drag car got his inspiration from.
