Old look with new tech, probably drives like a dream, not like an old tank. I like it a bit, but not too much.

Those have been around for a while. I saw them at Carlisle in 06.
I wouldn't want one, but nicely done.

Looks like someone left a '53 out in the hot sun and it started to melt and stretch. I hope it goes back to it's original shape when it cools!

You gotta have a wad of money to burn if you're willing to spend as much on that car as you would a new Corvette...and have it look like it's nearly 60 years old.
