    First time I've seen Les Dunham. He's pretty cool. He landed an amazing deal with the James Bond producers for Live and Let Die (1973). The cars in that film were 70s classics, absolutely mint, and are as much the stars of the film as the actors. We're talking movie car royalty!

      Question: Did Les Dunham make specialized rims for those vehicles?

      Ur talkin' about them Starwires, Pimps Nationwide, long before them Starwires by Cragars , had their own rims with knockoffs and sticking from the wheel wells , were built in custom shops specifically for their cars and for them.

      I'm not 100% sure but I was told the car in the movie is in Jersey City NJ. I used to see it drive around every other day when i was young. I remember seeing 3 of them all the time in the 70's and none of the owners were pimps lol

    It's interesting how many of these owners mistook kitschy excess for luxury. I suspect most pimps try to look like sucessful middle class professionals these days, so wouldn't drive one of these. These cars are outright camp, just from their garishness alone. The Corvorado could have been a basis for an upmarket grand tourer. Slim the bumpers to a blade, lose a few bits of brightwork,lowered over some American Racing Torque-Thrusts and redlines, you've got a GT.

      Its just their style, man. You dont get to define luxury for everybody. Personally, I see originality....which is hard to come by.

    Unfortunately, Afro-Americans can't tell the difference between luxury and vulgarity and often mistake one for the other.
