If you didn’t know that was supposed to be “Givenchy,” how would you read it? Jimmnly? Junumlry? There’s no way that first letter looks like a cursive “g.” Look, here’s some cursive Gs and Js:
Granted, the cursive G is weird, especially that second one, which always felt arbitrary to me. The neon there isn’t exact, but it does feel more like a J. Anyway, these were the two-tone Continentals of the era, big, ponderous things driven by old people and, I guess, chrome people. To me, though, I’d say that says junnnnnnliy It was a design trend that just looked bad when combined with the hard angles of 1980s car design. Hopefully it stays dead for good now that its associated with malaise era American “luxury” crap cans. The last known sighting of a Chromie in public was in the women’s department of a Bergner & Weise in 1986. The chrome lady is expressing her adoration for the car. What you’re seeing is the opening shot of some really subtle artsy dragoning.
