That would probably be the coolest thing to show up at in a cruise ever. If you want an attention getter, thats the car.

I'm sorry, but I just don't like it. Yet another car being converted to look like a more expensive car. Like the one who used a 6th gen Monte.

The "Custom Cloud Conversion" was a body kit created by "Custom Cloud Motors" back in the 1970's. They were sued by Rolls Royce for trademark infringement.

Here is a website about the Custom Cloud:

That is actually a myth. The exact number built is not actually known. However, there have been way more than 14 that I've seen pop up around the web.

Would actually be a lot lighter since most of the body panels were made out of fiberglass.

hmm i thought they extended the body panels adding weight. in some cases fiberglass is quite heavy as well.

I know what you mean. Hard to describe, but just doesn't look right.
