I strongly urge you to check out the interior photos of this Lincoln Bugazzi. From Auto Blog:

We’re beginning to think that George Barris’ movie cars were more restrained than his customer cars—and that Dolemite had the man on speed dial. Barris built the car you see above: a Bugazzi (boo-GOT-zee), which started out as a 1972 Lincoln Mark IV and was turned into “an American version of a Rolls-Royce.”

That means it’s been slathered in thirty coats of pearl lacquer and trimmed with 24-carat gold-leaf, hand-applied pinstripes. Up front are two lanterns where the headlights would normally go. Inside, you’ll find gold, suede upholstery, Persian rugs, Italian doorhandles mounted on Italian marble slabs, a television, and a back seat wet bar. That could explain why the car cost $10,000 more than a Rolls. Or not.

Find of the Day: Barris-built 1972 Lincoln Bugazzi has interior like a dictator’s bathroom
