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

or what odd demographic makeup buys it. a frankenstein tri-5 bubbletop corvette.

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.

i dig it

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