yeah i LOVE the identity crisis--brand new rolls royce phantom crossed with an early 70's pontiac grand ville/buick centurion/chevy caprice convertible rear end. actually it doesnt look completely hideous but then again the front end of the rolls phantom is hideous on its own

It's probably got 3/4 ton truck running gear under it, I heard that's popular to do with those cars when they put the giant wheels on them.

or it was the only bolt pattern that they could get that size in at that time. more than likely its on a truck chassis it clear the rims. i like a car on so big rims if it can pull it off, i guess its the ghetto in me, but not that big il post a pic of a chevy on 30"s yes 30"s

It's just certain people's style a guess.... just like the lowrider style.  Not my taste though.  I've seen a couple that looked reasonable, but they were way tamer than that.

I respect everyones right to do what they want to thier own car. Low riders are cool, to an extent to me. But lifting a car to sitck 22"+ wheels on it is one thing. This is a full conversion and the wheels. I just don't see a logical reason to sepnd the time or the money to do it.
