I found this gaily painted car in a Target store parking lot. I wish I could have met the owner.

Interesting and unusual colored car. I think the owner was probably trying to make a statement. I'm curious too.

They were made to tour the international auto shows, but people liked them so much they did a limited production run of them. It does make a statement for sure.

Thanks a lot for the info. I thought it was just one of a kind. The colors look identical to the colors used on Rubic;s Cube, a puzzle gadget popular about forty years ago-before my time.
