As teased previously by designer Arthur Kar, HYPEBEAST and KAR / L’Art De L’Automobile will be collaborating on a one-day event in LA, titled “KAR WASH.”

The pop-up will be held to highlight Arthur Kar’s personal Cadillac Allante. Holding a special place in his heart, Arthur explains how he learned and fell in love with the Pininfarina-designed luxury drop-top when he first encountered it with his father during his childhood. Produced from 1987 — 1993, the Allante is very much a niche car for enthusiasts who if “you know about it, you got it. If you don’t know you don’t know… you don’t want to know or whatever.”

The KAR WASH will feature an exclusive multimedia installation with the Cadillac Allante, along with the sale of exclusively designed merch, in collaboration with HYPEBEAST. Products available will range from a graphic T-shirt and print to a gold spinning keychain, all co-branded and designed around the classic Caddy.

The event will be held on April 11 and food will be provided by Jon & Vinny’s, as well as Milk Bar. To learn more about Arthur Kar’s Cadillac Allante, view the video short below.
