Yes, but the Bill Mitchell car is still gaudy looking.

I'm not saying it's not an important part of our cars history, I know it really is. I've just always thought it was pretty ugly. This car and the other concept one are the whole reason I posted the anti flame statement in advance. I know a lot of people actually like that thing. Just too George Barris looking for me.

I certainly was not trying to flame, but I do like that car. I'll admit that the lines were exaggerated, but Mitchell loved to do that with his show cars. I always found that paint job to be quite striking, with the dark color on top of the light color. Considering how the mid-years looked, that car isn't all that exaggerated from what the production cars became.
