When I see something like this I always ask myself – Why? So far I cannot come up with an answer unless the painter was drunk.
The Cat tag gives one a whole new perspective. Tonka toy trucks we see all the time. A Cat Caddy, I dunno.
Please don’t think I don’t like zebras. They look and act like my Donkeys wearing convict stripes. This from a guy who carries a zebra duct tape wallet.
That Caddy is still easier on the eyes than the mating of an International cab with a Pontiac from last month.

Looks like something David Lee Roth would have rolled up to a concert in!
I can only imagine what the interior looks like. Velvet Elvis seat cushions?
Love the wallet!
Because of its size the Fleetwood Limousine has no natural predators, but it does have natural camouflage that helps it sneak up on the unsuspecting Rabbits and Foxes that it feeds on.
Could be worse, in San Jose, about 10 years ago, there was a car (perhaps a Checker–the memory has been long suppressed) that was covered in fake fur. 2″ long orange fake fur. Fortunately for all eyeballs, no photos available.
You mean this one?
Steve: Just had to bleach my eyes.
Oh dear, the
nightmaresmemories are coming back. That’s it, officer! I also recall the driver wearing something “appropriate” to the car.I’d say thanks, but now I have to find a therapist. 🙂
Think dazzle paint on WW 2 warships. Wards off Long Lance torpedoes. Except when it doesn’t.
+1. First thing that came into this mind. Somewhat appropriate for a land-ship of sorts.:)
It’s the automotive equivalent of Zubaz.
That thing reminds me of an old 60’s chevy pickup I once had for a winter beater. At some point in it’s life it had been owned by a Purina feed store. Checkerboard pattern from bumper to bumper. I often wondered how long it had taken to paint all those checkers.
In a way it’s worse than the Hillbilly Hilton we posted last week. At least it doesn’t make any bones about what it is. The Cat front tag sort of made me blink when I saw it.
Looks like a VIP car for something like Lion Country Safari, or similar theme park. I recall visiting the one in Florida in the early 1970’s, where you actually drove through the wild animal areas. I wouldn’t drive any car I cared about though, wild animals can be rough on paint and coachwork.
Please do not leave your car. You will be eaten!
This car needs some navy blue paint, whitewalls and Cadillac wire wheel covers, stat!
I’m thinking of a new feature for CC: This Old Brougham. “Today, Norm and I will be painting and renovating a 1988 Cadillac.”
