Cruella de Vil, your car has arrived. This 2006 Excalibur limousine was once a scanty 2000 Lincoln Town Car Signature Edition and challenges the notion that anything would be better than the latter.
It now has a front end styled like a 1930 Stutz, though this car has more in common with the hideous Stutz Blackhawk of the 1970s.
Sure, there could be some evidence that the Lincoln donor car had its odometer rolled back at one stage and the seller freely admits it was written off in an accident before being converted into this thing.
Then again, you can’t just go down to your local dealer and buy an automotive masterpiece such as this. You have to have it hand-built by an artisan such as Tony Palazzi, who seems to specialise in making Thunderbirds and Lincoln’s worse than they were to begin with.
Plus, you can get this slightly used example for the low, low price of US$35,000 (€24,361) on eBay.
After all, it only has 53,000 miles (85,295 kilometers) on the clock and the sort of title that would make any insurer in his right mind gouge his own eyes out.
