That is so very Willamantic.

 I've seen more than one of these (sadly) and wonder if it's some kind of body kit for your Thunderbird. To each his or her own I guess.

Is that a feature, bug or both?  It has been a while since I visited but Willi once had a hip, eclectic vibe with a nagging heroin habit.  It sat on a knife edge between promise and decay... okay, maybe I see where you were going after all.

From 20 minutes north, that was my exact thought :)

It's a kit. I've seen several of them over the years.

Growing up in Southwest Florida, I have also seen way too many of these. I can also confirm that there is a company that makes the kits:

I have seen them before too. It's a strange deal because from some angles it looks pretty decent, but that side view is a mess. I'm not sure if it could look better if the bump strip was gone and different wheels and tinted windows? It will never look like a beautiful 50 Merc but it can probably look a little better than that pic makes it look.
