One way to make yourself a classic convertible is to cut out the middle of a Chevy Lumina and graft in the body of a 1939 Mercury Convertible. Then paint it purple and add lots of 80s Mercury badging.
Not a good way, mind you. More of an”Eye-Searing Horror That Causes Involuntary Rectal Bleeding” sort of way.
Every angle of this thing is horrible. There’s isn’t a part that doesn’t look like a crime against basic automotive design.
But at least you’ll have the very best of 1990s front wheel drive GM technology to power you along.
So, if after looking at the photo below of a stock ‘39 Mercury convertible you decide you’d rather have this rolling horrorshow, you can buy it for only $47,999.00.

It’s abominations like these that always make me wonder how objectively stupid people somehow get this much money to obliterate.

You know, it's ugly as shit, but I have to say it's good work. Everything flows together and doesn't look like a hackjob.

Yeah, I always end up vaguely depressed that someone this pant-on-head stupid has enough money to have this professionally welded/painted/upholstered/etc. while all my projects are creeping along due to limited funds.

Still looks better than a Puma.

I think it’s actually a good use of a lumina lol, but would never spend my OWN money on that uh “creation” I really am surprised about the attention to detail

well the old freak shows of the past are long gone... but this could make a good starting point for an automotive freak show. It's soo ugly you can't help but stare.

I’ll reply with something coherent when I can stop my uncontrollable weeping.

This is the American Cousin of the Youabian Puma designed in a meth lab - (It’s like the classic episode of the X-files “Home”)

Looks well done, but the donor vehicle is truly awful.

At first, I thought about the car that was ruined, then I read that it was a Lumina and revised my feelings to those of indifference.
I mean, I like weird cars but this is just trying to mash two vastly different designs together. It's like doing plastic surgery on a person who asked to look weird: the end result isn't pleasing but the surgeon did great work it making them look strange.

Except they also ruined a ‘39 Mercury convertible body to make it happen.

My reading comprehension has failed me terribly this week. I had initially thought someone had the means to make custom bodywork (like modern show cars) but sacrificing a classic to make this is unfortunate.
