I don't know where to start. The door lock knobs {whatever those thingos are called!} suggest a thoughtful attention to detail. Perhaps the forensics section... Uh-oh, my wv is oargy.
Happy Hooker my foot! There's no "foot loops" as VW's of the time had! No happiness there!
I swear, a friend's parents had a couch in this motif (well, minus all the skulls and the Corona)...now I'm just loling because they were so uptight this would flip their lids!
Julie and Steven took my first thots when I looked at this...tho to have it be Liberace's cruisin car it'd have to have a huuuuuge candelabra mounted on the hood.
Speedway---not sure all this decoration would have lasted from the 70's, but all those wrinkles do give me pause about how old this might be! The vehicle I recognize, the decorations, seem a little newer.
and thinking along these lines, I'd guess it's a bitch to clean, then again, I haven't tried to clean that stuff since...oh, the 70's! ;-)
Quite clearly this automobile belongs to a vampire pimp. Only the combination those two can produce such a superb style. He's probably spending the daylight hours napping in the library basement.
It's not easy to tell from the photo, but yeah, the back windows were busted. And yeah, the keys were in the ignition. That could be because the car was at a repair shop.
who needs a lo-jack for this? how would you get very far with it?
"yeah, yeah, the caddy, with the custom interior, warm Corona, skulls everywhere, disco balls too. Yeah, they always joked in high school I had glass kunckles...left 'em all over the back seat before they took off with my Caddy...oh, officer, you found it already?"
I'd love to know which books the owner checked out of the library.

ReplyDeleteSomething by Xaviera Hollander, perhaps, Dive?
ReplyDeleteOh Shell, you made me laugh. Attention to detail! Ha!
Oops. I'm supposed to stay quiet on Zen Monday. Can't help it today, I guess.
ReplyDeleteSomeone took the term "pimp my ride" very literally.
ReplyDeleteDisco funeral home.
ReplyDeleteThat one looks like it's been around a while. Based on the color scheme and the mirror balls was the car done in the 70's, you think?
We don't see much here, if any, though I've seen a couple pick-ups in the nascent stages of customizing.

Death Takes a Holiday
ReplyDeleteLiberace's favorite touring car has been stolen.
ReplyDeleteNow Petrea. Just how would you know about Xaviera Hollander's books?
Was there anyone alive in the early 1970's who could read a headline yet didn't know about Xaviera Hollander?
ReplyDeleteNice Post have a good day ;)

ReplyDeleteWell, if it were Xaviera Hollander's low-rider it would just have to do tricks? Did this one perform?
ReplyDeleteWeren't Earth, Wind and Fire in town recently? This could be their limo.
ReplyDeleteNothing like XH's books nowadays - chick lit is so tame. Were they on the banned books list?
That is one wacky ride.
ReplyDeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteOne can only wonder what the tape measure in the rear window is for.
ReplyDeleteHint: enlarge the top photo and take a close look at the back seat.
ReplyDeleteOops! Do we have CSI: PDP here? I'd thought it was, of all things, wadded up Christmas icicles.
ReplyDeleteWV: debar - Was de long, black bar used to tear up the windows?
My friends in the 7th grade passed around a copy of The Happy Hooker disguised with a Little Women book jacket.
ReplyDeleteWTH/ I left a comment last night. Rats, I don't remember how clever I think I was. Maybe something like....... coffin on wheels?
ReplyDelete"All my friends know the low rider; the low ri-der is a little higher..." (insert trumpet stanza here -- and have a little more Corona...)
ReplyDeleteBack window busted out. Keys in the ignition... Go ahead and steal me. I double dare you.
ReplyDeleteIt's not easy to tell from the photo, but yeah, the back windows were busted. And yeah, the keys were in the ignition. That could be because the car was at a repair shop.
ReplyDeleteI took the picture some months ago.
That Corona was probably warm.

This must be Abbie's summer car.
