It's a Ford Escort station wagon with 80% of the roof cut off and nothing put back in it's place. LMAO.

OH, and a wing

Gotta give the man props for sweating the details . . . .

Those 14" autozone hubcaps are a perfect color match to the paint.

Noticed the very appropriate mullet the driver is sporting. And of course the Tennessee plate. I'm in Nashville, where did you spot this masterpiece?

Can you just imagine the body/cowl flex on a vehicle like that? There is a reason why auto manufacturers stopped making 4-door convertibles decades ago.

And those convertibles at least had subframe reinforcements.

This one? I highly doubt it.

I have never been more glad to be in my Mercedes at any point in my life than when I passed that....... Hell I could have passed that on a moped and been more happy to be on it.
