Lexus LS430 w/landau top

[Flybrian]

This thing has been my bigfoot or Nessie for quite awhile. Every time I'd see it, I didn't have my digi, or it was out of battery, or I forgot my memory stick . But today was the day.

Parked illegally in a fire lane. Of course, I mean, a vinyl-roofed Lexus isn't driven by Enrico Fermi or anything.

[pow]

Sweet... it's got the gold badging, chrome wheels, tinted windows, and everything.

[ocnblu]

Does this mean a DTS was spared the embarrassment? Good.

unfortunately, the local Buick dealer is sporting a Top-O-Line Super De Lux Lucerne Brougham with a cloth padded top.

Hopefully, the soft-headed buyer will park it in a padded garage, next to his padded house, so he doesn't bump his soft egg.

good work fly! now that you've achieved that, i think we can set you loose on finding Jimmy Hoffa.

He exists, he will turn up, its just darn hard to do!

Good, less of this tacky $h! on Cadillacs and more on Lexuses.

The "roadster top" finds its true home.

[ToniCipriani]

Aw come on guys, it ain't that bad...

At least it makes a bland car looks interesting.

[Camino LS6]

Oh yeah, it's that bad. Those things deface any car they are put on. Nothing says tacky POS better.

Might I ask: where are the chrome fender skirts with louvres?

On a Chrysler 300 with Indiana plates my father told me he saw today. Rear wheel skirts, vinyl top, and a "biiiiiig f@#king" hood ornament.

I thought dealers that put tops on cars like that also added the curb feelers as a package deal.

[Guest Josh]

I'm more interested in pics of the two MILFS off to the left of the Lexus....

PICS! I just want to see how it looks...

Heh... Lexus set out to conquer Cadillac buyers of the 1990's.Lexus got'em... Lexus can keep'em too!

NAUGHTY!

you had em already tho, huh? LOL

[Sixty8panther]

Look more like DILFs to me.

[azulSKY]

This isn't the worst offender I've seen wearing these. By far, I'd say it was the 2004 Nissan Maxima or 2002-2006-style Camry with it. Didn't get pics, but my god it was horrible!!

I saw one the other day, gold with a beige cloth top. And yes, it looked atrocious.

Funny you mention curb feelers, I saw some on a car the other day, it was an old Olds or Buick being driven by a guy in his mid-20's.

That makes me want to assume you'd like to dads...

[Flybrian]

For the record, those were chicks my age (twentysomething).

For the record #2, I've seen the following cars landau'd:

Late-80s Hyundai

1995ish Mazda Protege

Past two generations of Accords

Past three generations of Camry

All generations of Avalon, current included

Chrysler LH-cars, including Intepid and an Eagle Vision

All generations of Mercury Sable/Ford Taurus

Past four generations of Nissan Maxima

Current Nissan Altima

All generations of Chrysler cloud sedans except Plymouth Breeze

Mazda 929 (that looked especially awful)

Mazda 626

Mid-90s Mitsubishi Galant

Lexus LS430/400, first and second generation GS, even an old SC

Infiniti I30, J30, G20

Late-90s VW Passat

Audi 5000

Mid-90s Toyota Corolla

These don't include what's appropriate like a Dynasty and what's simply expected like some Grand Marquis.

I think the other lower-47 states send their visonless, tasteless idiots here to die.

I thought I saw an SC with a Landau, turns out it was a convertible, custom job, damn thats a nice car.

[ToniCipriani]

I've seen a picture by a company which made these things. They made one for the current gen Grand Prix.

Can't remember which one though.

Which one? I noticed Cochran in Monroeville had a silver one with a black top on thier display by the road a few weeks ago, which really dissapointed me. Thankfully it is the only one I've seen so far. Although, Massie Toyota had an Avalon with a cloth top in thier showroom at about the same time. I was going to stop and snap a pic on my way home from work one day, but by the time I remembered a camera it was gone. I'm an old-school luxury kind of guy, but I never did like cloth tops..
