Rainbow Shay: The Billionaire Who Stopped Mercedes Production for 7 Custom Cars!
Показать описание
Is it really possible to make Mercedes stop production just because you want it to? If you're Hamad bin Hamadal Al Nayyan, better known as Rainbow Shay, the answer is yes. In 1983, he wanted his wedding to be so legendary that he ordered seven custom-made Mercedes 500 SELs, each a different color of the rainbow, inside and out. Hitch? His timing was so ridiculous that Mercedes stopped their entire production line to accommodate him. Why rainbow colors for weddings?
This is the tip of the iceberg. Shay owns more than 3,000 cars and built a pyramid-shaped garage to store just a portion of his collection. One standout vehicle is the Dobbyam, a 24-tonne SUV with a 15.2-litre engine. But wait. Shay also built a 50-ton Hummer with four 1,000 horsepower engines. Still not impressed? He tops it all off with the world's largest truck, a 1950 Dodge Power Wagon, 64 times larger than the original, with windshield wipers taken from an ocean liner. Why rainbow cars? To celebrate each day of your wedding week with a different shade of color.
