Have you herd the Japanese automakers making claims that their $30,000 sedan is a luxury product because it has a starter button? When we hear those, it’s the same for as rappers claiming they are champagne connoisseurs
Luxury is when you get up in the morning and have tea from porcelain cups! And a glass (technically crystal) hood ornament for your old Rolls Royce is definitely in the same criteria.

A set of exquisite and ultra-rare hood ornaments made by Lalique will be auctioned off this weekend at the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance in Florida. They are expected to fetch somewhere between $800,000 and $1.2 million (EUR608,000 and EUR1.02 million).

RM Auctions, the organizers of the event, say the ‘Renard’ or fox you are looking at is the rarest and most sought after, but there are even female forms if rappers want to get in on the bidding.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s.
