You've said it was not homemade but I have a hard time imagining that such an absurd-looking car was meant to be sold by a company. Was it built for a special purpose, like for a TV show or for an art exhibition ?

It was photographed at a garage. At the front in place of the number plate there's an abbreviation of the garage. It is possible that they only offered this for sale or used it as a promo vehicle - I don't know. As a clue: it resembles a movie car and its name suggests this as well.

Is the car supposed to look like Cruella De Vil's car, hence is it named Deville ?

Isn't it contradictory with your answer #22 ?

Well, I only spent half of my day browsing pictures of dutch garages ;D

Cruella De Vil theme custom spotted at the Garage Van der Steen Hella Service in Poppel, Belgium. Based on an Opel Astra.

Probably the ugliest car ever posted on AutoPuzzles ?
