A spoiler? Is the owner trying to make some kind of hipster irony-type joke?

Front wheel off a Dodge Caravan... looks like the spoiler off one too

Front left cap and spoiler make it look like the Cuban classics!

lovely find. so many contours and details to appreciate.

interesting that the add-on spoiler wears the same patina as the original panels.

diggin the manitoba motor league sticker in a deep and meaningful way.

~ 50 years later Ferrari is using a variation of those tailight contours.

The spoiler's been installed as a mounting place for the center brake lights. Got to pass inspection you know! I bet it got a smile from the DMV guy.

Bonus for being parked on the lawn.

Love the styled pot-metal plugs where the optional backup lights would go. Amusing that they were still optional on a mid-line Pontiac whose 1960 brochure tags as it "luxury-laden."

Antiquing the 90s-era spoiler to match the patina of car was an act of ironic brilliance on the part of the owner. Or so I hope.

That Caravan hubcap....argh. Looks terrible. The spoiler is actually funny. Great patina and those are some of my favorite tail lights.

Love this site! Being from Canada I think this would be a "Strato Chief" instead of it's USA twin, the "Star Chief."
