This is the late Boyd Coddington's CheZoom, created in 1995. IMHO, it makes the '7-8-9' shown above look like the sh*tpile it is.

granted it's good work. I just dont see why you would take a Swan and turn it into an ugly duckling. With that amount of time vested surely you could find a different car to make beautiful.

I dont know guys. To each his own. I think its pretty cool that some people like the return of the days in which extreme customs were cool. I miss going to Hot Rod Show World and seeing these types of cars with my dad. George Barris and Big Daddy Ed Roth would be proud.

Checked out n2amotors web site and not a fan of the 50"s version, "ugly duckling" is a great analogoy, each to their own......... That said their other offerings look pretty cool.

The late Boyd Coddington's CheZoom looks AWESOME!

The mods should ban these photos. The owner should be banned from CF. On second thought, it is kind of unique!!!!

NO C4s were ugly to start with. The only gen I don't like. Not even a little bit.

I like it. Mainly because it is different. I dont look at it as a corvette so it doesnt bother me.
