"I see a car as a little home that can move and take you everywhere… it can also be an expression of your style and of what you want to project," says Diane von Furstenberg.

Then what happens when top fashion designers get inspired by the classic American dream car?
You get some pretty nifty "Thunderbird-inspired" trend-setting sportswear and accessory designs from John Bartlett, Carolina Herrera, Marc Jacobs, Gene Meyer, William Reid, Diane von Furstenberg, Lambertson Truex, Jack Spade and, Oliver Peoples.
The creations will be auctioned[/link] now through April 3rd on eBay with proceeds from sales going to New York Fashion Cares to benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation and to support breast cancer awareness in low-income areas.
Are your engines ready???
