This kind of reminds me of that Johnny Cash song "one piece at a time". I think it would have been accepted a little better if they just did the whole car with the '57 theme or just '59 but both? just too much for me...

The monochromatic coupe is downright UGLY! Now the two tone convertibles aren't bad!! I wouldn't want one but not bad looking. On the two tone you can see the side trim nod to the 58,,otherwise it looks like a cobbled up 57/59 nightmare!!

When I first saw one of these it was called a 789. The front was supposed to look like a 57 the rear a 59 and the sides a 58? Don't see the 58 in it at all. I wouldn't be caught driving it. In my .02 its not even a conversation piece.
