The "Di Dia," a completely custom car built for crooner Bobby Darin by Detroit customizer Andrew Di Dia. At $150,000 it held the Guinness Book title of World's Most Expensive Car in 1960. #DavesCarIDService
Fun Fact: Bobby Darin drove Sandra Dee to the 1961 Academy Awards in this car 
Bobby Darin was a freaking style icon, I tell you whut
Bobby Darin proved that with a good set of pipes, a sharp suit, and swagger, a short guy with average looks could become a world class ladykiller
Sadly, he threw it all away on an ill-considered attempt to reinvent himself from a Vegas crooner to a protest-y folk singer
Bobby Darin died tragically young at age 37, complications from childhood rheumatic fever. The DiDia lives on though, at the St Louis Museum of Transportation. #RIP
