Jinkies! Mystery Solved: Fashion Student Brings Scooby-Doo to COD

A lifelong fan of Scooby-Doo cartoons, College of DuPage Fashion Studies student Gina Gianni brought a childhood dream to life four years ago when she turned her jeep wrangler into a tribute to one of America’s favorite animated cartoon classics. Watch a video of the mystery machine in action at the COD Food Truck Rally and Sunset 5K.

After visiting a car show with her mom and seeing a custom Mystery Machine on display, Gianni, of Villa Park, knew she wanted one of her own.

“When I saw the classic car, the nostalgia set in,” she said. “I loved ‘Scooby-Doo Where Are You’ as a kid and have followed the animated and live action movies into adulthood.”

Gianni sketched out a design and after several iterations, had the artwork printed on a vehicle wrap. The truck is finished in a light vibrant blue and lime green, accented with bright orange flowers and cartoon-inspired lettering.
