I came across this on my local CL: http://cleveland.craigslist.org/cto/4173827950.html
When what you want is more than a Monte Carlo with vinyl seats...

I had never heard of it but google brought me to the whole story.
I remember Motor Trend did an article about that car back in the day. They got in a little hot water with Rolls Royce over the name, the radiator and the Spirit of Ecstasy radiator ornament.

They were doing that with fake convertible tops right into the late 80's. A guy I used to work with bought a Cutlass Supreme "Roadster" that had the windows covered like that. Awful.

That is right up there with "wrapping Roy Orbison in cling film" erotic fan fiction as far as things my mind will never comprehend.
