It's Doubtful Marc Jacobs Was In On The Collaboration...

            About 99.99% sure you cannot buy a Louis Vuitton edition Dodge Charger... 

There are some very, very fashion conscious people out there, and quite a few of them like to appear just a bit more, uhm, how can I say it...I guess "well-to-do" will suffice. I caught sight of this Dodge Charger parked in front of a Taco Bell this afternoon, with a customized paint job that immediately reminded me of the Brittney Spears video for "Do Somethin'" that featured a bright pink Hummer sporting the LV logo.

The unauthorized use of the LV logo resulted in a lawsuit filed by Louis Vuitton against SonyBMG and MTV Online for violation of counterfeiting laws. They sued, and won.

          They did a good job of it, but if you look close enough you can see a bit of overspray 

Louis Vuitton Malletier is a French Fashion House founded in 1854 that is considered one of the world's most valuable brands - worth over 26 billion (USD) or so. They have a team of lawyers that aggressively pursues anyone for what they consider "attacks" on the brand, and they have a enviable track record.

It's doubtful they would waste time and money pursuing any legal action against whoever painted this beauty, but you never know.

                              That took a lot of creativity...and a bit of patience, too.

If anything, the good people over at Dodge should make an effort to track this individual down and give them a hearty thanks for attempting to make a rather clunky muscle car look a tad more appealing...or not.
