So, hot on the heels of my last post about a strange car comes this monstrosity which I spied on Baker Street a couple of days ago (yes, it's taken me that long to figure out how to get the pictures of my wife's phone):

It appears to be a Mercedes CLS convertible with a monster grill. I for one have never seen anything like it. It's almost so ugly it's good, but only just.

:lol:

Drop me a line if you know what it is, if you've seen one before, or just to say if you like it or not.

Sorry about the B&W, my daughter had switched the setting and in my haste to take these pictures before the light changed, I didn't realize it at the time.

Its just one of those roof covers from 1976.
 
^ I LOL'd at that, but you might be right. Looking at the roof it doesn't look like it's a cloth roof. It's more likely that it's just a hideous mod, following in the footsteps of cloth-covered roofs of some 70s/80s cars;
 
I remember seeing/hearing/vomiting at this car before, I just couldn't place my finger on it. So after Googling "Mercedes", "CLS", and "cow catcher", I came across this.

Presenting, ladies and gentlemen, the ASMA Design Mercedes CLS!

And the vinyl top simply seals the deal. That's right folks, you just can't find another fine vehicle of such taste and restraint anywhere else. Show your neighbors that you've joined the classy jet set when you purchase this beautiful machine - that way, they'll know when you've truly arrived.

:yucky:
 
That thing is major carbage. :lol::lol:

+1 for cow catcher
 
from the side without the soft top it looks decent. but that mug shot is AWFUL! id never be caught in that thing for 2 reasons. 1) its ugly as shiit and 2) im not rich enough to afford one :D
 
I have seen a few cars with lame tops like that around here. They always look like crap so I just laugh.
 
That's so awful it's almost laughable - beyond me how anyone can look at that and say "So, when can I pick it up?".

(Unless that sentence finishes with "... and drop it in a car crusher?")
 
^

both cars look fugly.
 
It's so funny in an ironic way that the company is named like asthma, yet the grill where the car basically breathes is so monstrously huge.
