Ah, designer-edition cars! The Malaise Era Cartier and Givenchy Lincolns! The Oleg Cassini AMC Matador! The Mark Cross New Yorker! By the early 1990s, you couldn’t get quite the variety of designer-edition cars that we saw in decades past, but Volkswagen wasn’t done yet!

I’d never heard of the Etienne Agner Golf before I spotted this one in an Oakland self-service wrecking yard, but a quick visit to VWVortex filled in the blanks. Only 1,461 Etienne Agner Golfs were sold in North America during their one model year (1991), and it appears that this one wears the no-doubt-much-coveted Mangrove Green Metallic paint. Sadly, this VW has been crushed and reborn as Chinese bridge parts by now.

Is it just me or does that logo look like a profile shot of a horse's (or hippo's?) rear end?

My favorite (if you could call it that) of these designer edition cars has to be the Michael Kors Cadillac Deville. It may have only been a concept car though. It had a silver on silver bass boat flake paint job! Seen here in this video. Want to see what happens when you let these designers really run wild? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X54f6B9KWNU

Analoggrotto I hope the walls of Mary Barra's office are covered in crushed velvet.
Mikey For 36.4 years i punched the clock at GM Canada.. For the last 15.5 years (frozen at 2008 rates) my GM pension shows up in my account. I flirted with Fords for a couple of years but these days I'm back to GM vehicles and still qualify for employee price. Speaking as a High School drop out ..GM provided myself and family a middle class lifestyle.. And still does .. Sorry if i don't join in to the ever present TTAC ..GM Bash fest

THX1136 A Mr. J. Sangburg, professional manicurist, rust repairer and 3 times survivor is hoping to get in on the bottom level of this magnificent property. He has designs to open a tea shop and used auto parts store in the facility as soon as there is affordable space available. He has stated, for the record, "You ain't seen anything yet and you probably won't." Always one for understatement, Mr. Sangburg hasn't been forthcoming with any more information at this time. You can follow the any further developments @GotItFiguredOut.net.
