More Bling-bling… (UPDATE: Vintage Bling-bling!)

• 

Purists may well remember that poor Fiat 1500 convertible of a while ago. Well, folks - we found another striking example to the art of adding as many bolt-on accessoiries to one vehicle, and this time it's a Ford. We believe it to be a Fairlane of the mid-1950s but are not completely sure due to the overwhelming amount of ad-ons, obscuring much of the vehicle's identity. We noted bigger bumpers and overriders, extra spotlights, badges, antennas with fox tails, fake air intakes, fake air outtakes, wire wheels, white walls, mirrors, sun visor, footboards and so on and so on.

But it's the vast quantity of chrome ornaments with no purpose other than shine that make you dizzle. Like the Fiat, this is Bling-bling overblown. This is so much of it, that it would even scare Liberace (that may be an exaggeration, but hey...). Oh - and is that a Cadillac crest on the grille? Underdog complex, anyone?. One thing is for sure, though, you'll have to admit this car is a show stopper par excellence. Thanks to Henry Norberhuis we now know it's a piece of period bling-bling - see comment.
