You know when you see a truck or 80's lincolns, grand marquis, cadillacs, etc. with 22" rims? That's the look I'm talking about. It's the one thing I don't like about any of the "retro" cars, they all come with 18" wheels or bigger and it just doesn't look right on the classic body styles. Just a personal preference. If I want wagon wheels, I'll get a wagon.

Perfect as is except for the side vent treatment, maybe they should be slanted at the leading edge instead of so rectanglerly boxy looking, I'd buy one if the funds were available. Peace,,,Moosie

I love the car.

I think it needs some chrome mirrors, small like the Ford Cobras from the 60's. You would definitely need a camera in the rear because those sail panels would create a nasty blind spot.

I like it. Very much.

If GM had the ***** to build it, and a few other things, maybe they wouldnt be standing in front of congress looking for a handout of my tax dollars.

Lose the air dam in the front and it would be very tempting. A very interesting concept. I liked it!
