One-Off Dealership Custom WRX Convertible, and other dealership customs| Alex |  Posted: Feb 6 2014, 09:45 PM |
OG Member  Group: Advanced Members Posts: 9,054 Member No.: 111 Joined: Nov 26th 2002 Location: Atlanta | I came across this whilst reading a Jalopnik article and couldn't comprehend it. Apparently the car is almost 3 whole years old now, but it's news to me. We all know some dealerships like to put their own touch on the latest vehicles. Usually it's just a few decals, maybe a whole appearance package. Then there's the ones run by madmen who either A.) jack up the powaahhh or B.) chop up bits and pieces of the car till you have something that resembles this!

IDW Goldmember Group: Advanced Members Posts: 3,840 Member No.: 25,374 Joined: Jul 18th 2007 Location: Southern California | I don't know if it's the SAME company, but I used to work at a dealership many years ago, and they had some vehicles that were modified into a convertible, and this looks like the same kind of work, where it keeps the B-pillars and has some sort of cover for the back snapped on with buttons. Not bad work, but it just looks really awkward, and definitely not nearly as cool as the Chrysler 300C convertible that someone had made years back. It's a stupid idea, if you ask me. |

How about this one-off that a Ford dealer in Texas fabbed up to turn the Maverick into something that looks suspiciously like another popular 70s car?  Image size reduced, original size: 1024 x 683.

If that Subaru dealership don't mind, take the roof back again and put a 6 point rollcage on it, it will be a proper car again. This post has been edited by ZN6xAE86 on May 19 2014, 06:39 PM |
