I think it looks cool. I could see myself in a black one wearing a Batman outfit.

I'm hoping it's Photoshop, but if not it looks like a well executed idea that I don't appreciate personally, but I do appreciate the craftsman ship that made it. That being said.... Ummm no thank you.

What's wrong with the cars as GM designed them? I think they are beautiful. But, I guess some like change for the sake of it.

When I see cars like these I really wish I could meet the artist, buy them a beer and listen to how they did it and what they were thinking.

Hot rod art. It is not for everyone but it sure makes things interesting...

I didnt like it either. The fins look too big for the car. And the mesh of the 50s fins, with the C3 aero style nose just looks bad together.

Well the fantasy ideas in this thread with the clever photoshops is different to most real life mods, but the same in that some mods are sweet some are tacky, its up for personal tastes, for example you dig the stock 74 to 79 rear yet a gm designer larry shina- somebody called the styling a steaming dog turd, thats pretty darn harsh but his opinion, and i btw think a car like your 77 is sweet,
I wish i didnt like things that didnt come on the c3s,
i wish gm had made the perfect to me c3, they didnt so i had to, most modders of c3s feel as i do in some way or another hence why we make our perfect c3.

That same white 57 looking conversion was at the car show Saturday in Cartersville. There was also a C5 or maybe C6 conversion to a C2 as well.

Not my cup-o-tea either.

I believe they do this "because they can".

Maybe there is something to be said for the creative mind being allowed to wander.

John has a neat restomod he is working on which has given me the chance to see how a creative mind ebbs and flows through a new concept car. Called Darth Vader Vette I see an inspiring design coming from a creative mind. That is what I see with these designs as well.

Who am I to say they are in poor taste, they are just not familiar.

I do admire the craftsmanship though, and I wish I had that talent whether is working with steel, fiberglass, or computers.
