Original Toronto Star caption: No worries at the toll booth; Model Vivian Palermo and Paul O'Connor; a bell captain at the Toronto Airport Marriott Hotel; help with the launch of the first gold-covered limo; created in Brampton by three Canadians with the midas touch. The car; weighing about 3 tonnes and dotted with more than 23;000 gold coins all placed by hand; can be rented for a mere $500 an hour. After all; it's worth its weight in gold.
