The Millennium falcon is the most easily recognizable ship in Star Wars, so this remade Millennium Falcon Chevy Malibu had large shoes to fill. The car brings together two kinds of old school by bringing back a 1974 Malibu with the getaway ship of a lifetime, the Millennium Falcon.
The right side rearview mirror is where the cockpit is housed on the ship and it even features miniature figures of Han Solo and Chewbacca. The rest of the car is decorated beautifully with paint that mimics the rest of the ship and the stars as they fly at warp speeds.
This is what happens when you take a hobby and put money and time into it. What you get is a physical manifestation of fandom.
