kind of a "repost", but mainly old news... about 3.5 years old...


...and here are some pics i took of the original car when it was "shown" to me in a rundown tow garage in Haledon NJ....

I still can't fathom how their design team sat there and said "YES! THAT'S the look we are going for!"

now if they made any of the actual cars that they were basing the three styles off of, it was be 5 million times more badass. but in a retro style way like retro styled dash and what not, kinda like the mustangs.

For $135k you could have a '57, '58, and a '59, and not have them all mashed together. Maybe even the corvette too.
