When will we learn? Things such as velvet wraps on cars don’t just go out of fashion in a year or two. Just when we thought we wouldn’t see such customization jobs anymore, we came across a Ferrari California that looks like something that belongs in The Smurfs.
Forget the Belgian comic though, this is an Italian-built, British-wrapped four-wheeled creature. We have to admit though, we’ve never seen a Ferrari California that stands out more than the one shown in the footage below.
