Strange But True Rolls-Royce Sighting

Apparently there are some people out there with a sense of humor: I've seen Bentleys with Hyundai badges, Hyundais with Bentley badges, and most recently, a Rolls-Royce with GM's Dual-Mode hybrid badges.

By the way, we still haven't figured out whether or not that was real or just a joke (I assume it was the latter). I guess we'll know if Rolls-Royce ever releases a Phantom hybrid with the Dual-Mode hybrid system.

We've got hilarious rebadges - what's next, a Phantom at Wal-Mart? Well actually, now that you mention it, yes! You know the recession has hit everyone hard when you see something like this......

Yes, that is the Rolls-Royce Phantom - at Wal-Mart. An oxymoron if I've ever heard one! I've seen Bentleys and Rolls-Royce Phantoms before, but they were all found at upscale places. Guess times have changed since then!

The picture was captured on a cell-phone by John Rowles at the real-estate oriented BloodhoundBlog. He took the picture of the Phantom at a Newport, Rhode Island Wal-Mart on Saturday. Pretty strange! So what do you think? Owner's pocketbook running a bit low or just awell-heeled owner making a stop at a place known for good prices?
