I'm not sure if this qualifies as one of those "only in LA" things -- is it a "Volks-Stang" or "Must-Wagon?" -- but you have to admire the whimsical ambition and elegant execution in such a fine example of conceptual automotive fusion.
Born and raised in a rural pocket of the San Francisco Bay Area, I graduated from UC Santa Cruz clutching a degree in Aesthetic Studies. Armed with this paper sword, boundless ignorance, and a vision of Hollywood heavily influenced by the movie “Shampoo” (and seriously, what guy didn’t want to be Warren Beatty back then?), I proceeded to march on Hollywood in the spirit of a young man seeking adventure, a living -- and if Lady Luck deigned to smile upon me, perhaps a small fortune. Adventure, I found. A living, I made, but although Lady Luck has thus far kept me safe from harm on the road-raging freeways and bullet-riddled streets of Los Angeles, that elusive fortune remains but a shiny mirage on the road ahead.
I'm now playing out the string on a thirty year career in set lighting, trying to hang on until the bitter end.

The Bob Smith BMW license plate holder is a nice touch too.
Maybe they put a ford engine in it from a mustang. I had a teacher years ago that had a Chevy 350 in his.
