Junkyard Find: Bubble Caprice, Gucci Edition

After discussing Kreayshawn's love for the Buick Reatta in the recent '88 Buick Reatta Junkyard Find post, it seemed only fitting that I would find a car at the very same Denver self-serve yard that appears to be an homage to Kreayshawn's greatest hit.
While the 1991-96 "Bubble" Caprice isn't a particularly common sight in self-service wrecking yards, they're not realy old or special enough for me to pause when I see one in the GM section among the Saturn SLs and Olds 88s. This one, however, looked a little odd.
Could it be that GM was following in the footsteps of the Etienne Agnier Edition Volkswagen Golf and bringing back the Detroit designer-edition car? Well, probably not.
It's pretty clear that we're looking at the aftermath of a fabric-and-glue-gun frenzy, involving a Caprice that was likely on its last few thousand miles.
