I don't think that would ever grow on me, or my car. To each his own though.

Surprisingly, it's not awful...just really bad. I'd prefer that over some of the other body-mods I've seen!

I think what we need to remember is the fact that the Corvette was and continues to be an industry in itself. The vette has inspired alot of creative juices over the years with many interesting people and their interesting ideas, this happens to be one.

I have an idea which orifice the creative juices came out of for that design.

It looks like quality work although it certainly isn't to my tastes. It really bugs me when I go to car shows and see period 50s and 60s rods. It makes you think that most cars came customized with continental kits. There really weren't that many cars with the continental spares back then.

I don't care for the looks of it on a Corvette, but whoever did it, did a good job installing it.

I recognize that car!! It is a one of a kind, made especially for the President of Lincoln Continental in 1977. It is priceless!!

you guys aren't being creative enough... what it needs, is to be streched into one of those 4 door vettes, then it will look just fine!!!
