Before Gucci experienced it revival in the late 1990s thanks to Tom Ford, and before Louis Vuitton’s logo covered pimped up cars and dashboards (well in Britney’s case, it was a fake LV logo), Aldo Gucci, the son of Gucci’s founder Guccio, was asked to design a custom version of the 1972 Hornet Sportabout wagon.

The car sold 2584 units in the American market and featured a very fashionable interior with Gucci’s signature red and green colour, with the Gucci emblem on the door panels.

I wonder if this Gucci collaboration will make it into the Gucci film Hollywood director, Ridley Scott, is set to direct – according the British tabloid The Sun.
