I actually like the rear window look. Some of the other accoutrements, not so much.

I like the first one, not a fan of the wide bodies. Funny story, my neighbor of about 8 months came buy to borrow a drill bit. I took him in the garage to show hime my motor rebuild progress and he says, " This is the first time I sw your vette with the top up........ I don't like it so much." I had to agree with him, convertible tops arent all that pretty and do throw off the shape of the car. Thats why I like this split window. I love that long swept back like an early Jag XKE

The hood is a little too much for me too.

I love it! And I think the stinger hood compliments the rear.
But I ALSO love my "sugar Scoop" on my 71 coupe.
So I`d have to have TWO chrome bumper C3s..... one stock, and one with this hood & rear window treatment.
(But I`m OK with having two).

Those cars look fine. But, it's amazing to think that all of those were based on a design limitation (one-piece glass) from the early 1960's. When the C2 coupe first was introduced, everyone loved the car's general design...but HATED the 2-piece rear window. The only reason folks like it now is because of its rarity/oddity...
