The automotive equivalent to body piercing!

That's not trim....that BLINGAGE around here.

Thats probably not far off the public perception of a 50's custom car!

Oh well thats one Crown Victoria that will be worth more in chrome alone than anything else.

[Pez]

Needs bigger whitewalls........ :)

[jsf55]

Needs the matching gypo caravan on the back !!

[Paul]

[Hot Rod Widow]

[58 delray]

imagine if he'd stretched it and turned it into a bus, would that have made it a vicneey as apposed to a jeepney?!!

[Glyn]

[BRIT DIGGER]

side trim for example, im not sure how much of it is stock and whats not?

apart from the obvious main trim.

How does the driver's door open then does he have to remove that big slab of bling to get in?

[Koops]

Wonder how many late nites they spent on Ebay? :D

[Dave Lowe]

Anyone remember the Escort van that had this treatment on it that used to be up Chelsea cruise years ago?

This comment got me thinking, so i Photo Shopped the piccy, and zoomed right in.
There seems to have been a lot of Photo Shop work done on the photo, look closely at the original photo and you can just see where the orange paint was reworked round the edges of most of the `trim`!!!...

I wondered when someone would notice !!!, You are indeed eagle eyed Dad. LOL

Just remembered where I'd seen this before...it's Yuri Geller's car isn't it? He's obviously taken all the cutlery off & replaced it with these trim pieces.

Whilst i.....NO, I DON'T appreciate all the work etc. etc.

I don't think it has. What you are seeing is normal distortion you get between big colour contrast areas when you over-compress a .jpg image. Like this :

Look how the shadows fall on the picture too. The sun is positioned high and to the left of the centre of this picture. Most of the trim seems to have highlights and shadows to concur with this. There is a lot of 'corruption' around the images edges probably because it's been uploaded/downloaded on at least a hundred message boards already.

The car does have some charm. You will remember it. Job done?
