Ghetto Chic: the Oldsmobile Cutlass Sierra Louis Vuitton Limited Edition



Ladies and gentlemen, behold the very definition of ghetto chic: the ‘89 Oldsmobile Cutlass Siera Louis Vuitton Limited Edition, decorated and driven by Steve LaNasa:

this is my car. It all started when the hippie who lived in the apartment behind my house lost his car. As in misplaced. When the cops showed up three weeks later to inform him that it was parked on the next block over, he graciously sold it to me for the low, low price of 250 bucks, having bought a new car in the interim. I promptly scraped off the 800 bumper stickers and went to work. First, I took it to Earl Scheib and had it given a heavy coat of "Chocolate Glitter." Then I painted the trim, wheel holes, the dash, steering wheel, and all the other interior with a heavy coat of gold enamel. After that, I spent a week in the garage stenciling the logos on with gold spray paint and gold leaf. A quick top-coat at Earl’s and I was good to go. So far, it’s been a really bad influence on me…whenever people take my picture in it, I just can’t seen to keep my finger out of my nose. And when folks pull up next to me at the stoplight and start revving their engines, I just want to floor it. And sometimes I do.

    There’s someone who lives in my town that has an SUV done up similarly, only with Gucci instead of Vuitton. It looks so silly!

    Definitely ghetto, but fabulous? Er…not so much.

    I bet there’s more than a few residents of Oakland who would kill (literally) for the chance to own this “wonderful” specimen…

    The car is fabulous- but the guy, I cant tell if he’s a big LV fan and is hitting for the home team, or if he is just an uber douchy hipster.

    Oh, brother.
    I didn’t get anything about him being gay from this article - just the douchey part.

    He’s apparently an “artist”, although from some of the other pics, he didn’t do the best job of staying within the lines for this paint job.

    I’ve seen a photo of Bears kick returner Devin Hester filling up his 70’s era Impala that’s painted up with LV logos, too!
