I bring you the DiMora Scattare:

Notice the truck cut Chrysler beside the Scatterbrain in this photo:

The color combination resembles what just escaped back up your throat...

Is that Guido DiMora? That's a perfect New Jersey car.

I would rather have the limo-truck-convertable thing http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/im-so-ashamed/8061/page1/#post118155

But that paint job looks very late 90's

Front end looks like a crossbreed between an Oldsmobile Alero and an Edsel.

Looks like someone took a bunch of 90's era model kits and got medieval w/ the X-acto and the putty.

That's a lot of bad decisions manifesting in one place.

I remember seeing a '70s Ford full-size wagon that was made into a pickup, using a sawzall, hammer, and conversion-van window (and lots of caulk and screws).

That car was a bad execution of a bad concept. These cars are a good execution of a bad concept.

goofy, but still looks better than the Olds it originated from!

I am not sure why.. but I actually kind of like it. What is so wrong with making an "ute" out of something like that?

a different paint job and different front bumper maybe, but i have to say i like it better than the boring cars they came from. still rather have the holden commodore/pontiac g8 ute concept, but at least it looks like they did a decent job.

The only part I don't like is that little fish-face grille in the middle of the front bumper, and maybe the C-pillars are a bit too spindly. That paint job is totally '90s awesome. Or should I say "radical"?

I might even like it better than that Impulse/Brat hybrid ute that was posted a while back.

It's about as tastefully executed as the owners green suit.

Ya, that's pretty wrong. He really needs a proper Miami Vice white suit and sunglasses to pull it off.

I think it would look much better if:

The Front end wasn't molested

monotone paint

no hood scoop.

no hood pins

toned down, matte silver, modern 5 spoke wheels instead of ridiculous, chromed, sorta muscle car looking, Cragar knockoffs
