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.
