I see one of those Dropheads around here in La Quinta, CA. I asked a friend, and it turns out it’s the wife of the CEO of Cargill. Upon seeing a friend’s new SLR convertible, her Continental GT convertible was not unique enough, so she somehow got a Drophead some time last year.

This is the sort of thing that makes taxing the rich seem like reasonable government policy :(.

Somethng similar to the Maybach Excelero, only one off. Maybach could probably seel that too, but how many though?

Here in Los Angeles, Hyperion is a large sewage treatment facility. On the other hand, it is the sewage treatment facility to the stars.

Kind of ironic that you can still get 1930s style coachbuilt machines for the ultra wealthy, while mass-market manufacturers are going TU and selling like mad. Only this time there isn’t a GM to consolidate everything.

That much money and you have to climb over the side to get in or out? This will never be driven. It will just sit in some sheik’s warehouse.
