Top 10 Wacky Car Interiors

January 17, 2012 By Nadeem Muaddi 10 Comments

We auto upholsterers have seen it all – from customers’ makeshift gadgets to duct tape repairs and even DIY projects gone horribly wrong. However, every once in a while we get a job request that floors us with how ridiculous it is. You know the type: you want to do the job because it’s fun and pays well, but at the same time don’t want your shop’s name attached to it.

Below are photos of 10 such projects. They range from the tasteless to the absolutely bizarre. We didn’t do the work ourselves, but found the pictures online. If you’ve worked on a similar project and want to feature it on The Hog Ring, feel free to email us pictures. If you’d prefer we not publish your shop’s name, we completely understand…

 

 

For more crazy car interiors, check out “Top 10 Wacky Car Interiors – Part 2“, as well as “10 Duct Tape DIY Upholstery Disasters” – they’re a riot!

    My daughter is begging me for a Hello Kitty car. Good thing she’s only four.

    Haha – some great comments! Below are a few from The Hog Ring‘s Facebook Page. We’ll have to agree with Rod Thompson on this one…

    Karen Edwards: I’ll take the Hello Kitty car.

    Recovery Room Interiors: Thats just gross

    Rod Thompson: Whew, none of mine made the top ten

    Rob Whiteman: WOW.

    Gotta admire the creativity even if the taste is questionable. The lowrider, button-tufted work is very good from the show car standpoint. That’s how they do them.

      Very true, lowriders love crushed velvet and tufting. Also, it’s cool to see swivel seats in that El Camino.

    what is going on with that furry astro-turf station wagon? It looks like something Dr. Seuss would drive!
