RatRod Yaris
Here's a beaut! Hard to believe this was once a Toyota Yaris. Aka Toyota Echo hatch in Canada, aka a three door version of the American Echo. Special features here are a toothy chroome grille and what appear to be dirty white wall tires mounted on snazzy black pressed steel rims. Additional features include faired in rear wheels and weird downward bend rear view mirrors (also note that it looks like the stalk of the original mirrors is still there).

Oh, yeah. That IS snazzy. Classic "hoodlum-50s" flat black paint, rear fender skirts, Old Western Auto "Wizard" mirrors. Maybe I was squinting too much, but I didn't see any fuzzy dice. Or a Thrush decal. Or fake sidepipes and fake spotlights. Must have run out of money.
