Wow, didn't know Kandinsky did car wraps. Looks like Miami Blue underneath so obviously that wrap is going to be removed immediately upon purchase

I believe the original owner was a cow. And thus the black-and-white polka dots.

The reason was money can't buy good taste.

Wait, that is listed by a dealer!? I cannot fathom taking that car in and posting it for sale without removing the vinyl! Maybe I am just off my rocker

Was probably done for a charity event and this car won for the ugliest most outrageous wrap

I believe it was "commissioned" for Art Basel in Miami, celebrating some artist whose name escapes me..

Under that technicolor yawn of a wrap is beautiful Miami blue! If that dealer had any sense at all they'd rip that bullsiht off there.

Hehe clearly the only reason they haven't taken it off. Maybe they're betting that customers will test it thinking "whatever color it is under there, it can't be worse than this wrap".

Could be a Stevie Wonder project (blind artist).

Dealers sometimes do that on slow-selling cars, just to put out front and get attention. I've seen not only the Porsche dealer in town do it, but the Aston dealer as well. And it works. People stop and look, take photos of it, and post to forums.....lol

I guess I have to buck the trend.

I like it.
