Dragon Livery Tee

龍の車 (ryū no kuruma): "the dragon's car."

Japanese truck drivers in the 1970s started turning their rigs into rolling shrines of chrome and colored lamps, and the style took the name dekotora, short for decoration truck. A hit film series later that decade made them famous across the country. Walk around a proper one and the rear doors often carry a painted mural: a dragon in the surf, a leaping carp, Mount Fuji. Clubs still gather for night shows with every lamp lit.

A low coupe with a tall rear wing runs side-on across the front, its body wrapped in a red and gold dragon livery with white-capped waves breaking over the doors. Under it, in big white letters, 龍の車 (ryū no kuruma), "the dragon's car."

Car meet regulars who can name every turbo by its sound will want this one, and the red and gold dragon livery pops on black from the far end of a parking lot. The car crowd will find its people in the street racing tees.
