Jason Shafer’s Whipped Cream and Cashew Luxury Group Thunderbird takes the cake when it comes to finding a rare manufacturer’s special edition. But then, the Olds Ciera Rubies and Gold Edition also isn’t exactly a common sight anymore, what with its genuine 24K gold leaf applique and microscopic ruby granules mixed into the paint. Yes, the price of gold was cheaper then, but $89k was still a lot to pay for a Ciera. But for the few that bought and held on to them, their investment has paid off handsomely. You won’t see these going to the crusher; more like the smelter. I can just see Jason behind the wheel of this one, with a nice, matching heavy ruby-studded gold chain on his exposed hairy chest.
Oh dear. I guess it’s safe to say that this isn’t an original owner car. I wonder if the owner who did this works at McDonalds and is displaying their company colors.
This would be a vehicle that could be seen out here in Waipahu or Whitmore Village . . . .
Hmmm – Rubies and Gold edition. I thought they called that one the Cutlass Tiara.
When I see a car with rims that stick out this far, I want to pull it back to charge up the spring motor. Click-click-click, WHIZZzzzzzzzz.
In a sort of strange true reverse CC effect I saw a gold Accord the other day that had the door handles, trim and gas door painted in a very similar shade of “ruby”, of course it was a very poorly done job so the ruby was flaking off.
I’m trying, and failing, to imagine the owner stepping back and saying, “Damn, that came out looking fine“, but obviously it must have happened at some point.
Better get some Tru-Coat on those Daytons……cause if ya don’t, ya know what ya get?
Rust.
Damn, this is a nice rig. I’m thinking I may even give the old ’93 Buick Century a conversion…this is so much classier, and I won’t be seeing its twin in the K-Mart parking lot any more.
For those having lower testosterone levels than I, here’s a product I am told works quite well to go with gold chains:

Thanks! I’m getting my order in stat. I’ve been waiting for mine to grow in since I was 15, but I think the dozen that I once had are already reduced in number.
This has got to be the ugliest car I have ever seen.
That car wants to be a donk when it grows up.
Donk Lite! All the flavor of Donk Classic, but in a lighter, healthier formula. Try one today!
A product of Gobbitzer-Coleman Corporation…not to be confused with Ebenezer-Holdenspratt LLC, who make the Bro Truck Jr…
“Cars for idiots…cars for America!”
This and the T-Bird should be called “Twilight CC”s. They are cars that belong in a reality where toasters have RPO codes and sofas have Luxury groups.
But it’s also so unsuspecting readers don’t start wondering if that last soda had a little something and question the world as we know it.
Add the CoronoroC into that.
So well written they trip you if you are not looking.
With the price of gold how it is, maybe this is what Auric Goldfinger is driving in his retirement days. Not sure about the rims though…
“Do you expect me to talk?”
“No Mr. Bond I expect you to drive…this car!”
“Nooooooo!”
Is your washer broken?
It took me a minute to get what you meant. No; I scan parking lots as I drive down the street. This one was hard to miss
They forgot to gold plate the wiper arms.
It’s hard to tell but I think he got those. If so, major style points.
Yes you are right. The stock wiper arms were black.
Redskins fan maybe?
In the early 70s, Redskins wide receiver Roy Jefferson lived in our neighborhood. (This was back before pro football players earned crazy money and could afford mansons.) He drove a white Chevy conversion van with swirling burgundy & gold stripes and an image of himself running with a football on either side. As an elementary-school-age football fan, I found this to be the most beautiful vehicle ever made.
Lurking at the LAUNDROMAT is the killer white box with red wheels.
From that angle it almost looks like a 8th generation Continental, especially with the gold grille.
Yah, you bet! It’s in the lot there. Brand-new burnt umber Ciera. -Fargo
“Just about there…”
-Liberace
i can only imagine what THAT meant!
i have no clue.
While searching for a picture of one of Liberace’s cars to demonstrate what I meant, I found a quote from CC’s very own Paul N: “Liberace’s own Bradley, featuring that ubiquitous Liberace touch that he bestowed so bountifully on his collection of cars; his version of star dust.” That–is what I meant 🙂
This photo is proof that there are things money just can’t buy. Not even someone with Liberace’s riches could acquire that rarest of all earthly possessions: a fiberglass kit-car with hidden-headlights that open and close properly.
All my friends love the lowrider…
