    I know this is a year too new but sometimes when you see something the only way to unsee it is to share it.
    Someone did this 60 Starliner no favors.

    Man! That looks like George Jetson, Rodan, Speed Racer, and Tammy Fae's makeup artist got together and had a love child. I need some of whatever he was smokin to understand that!

    I can't disagree with anything that's been said. But on a positive note, that pinstriper is damn good.

    How can you put that much effort into modifying a car and end up with those taillights?

    Poor car...

    No one even mentioned the color. My wife, saw this from over my shoulder and said it was horrid.

    I looked for 2 years, before I bought my '54, for a '60. I had a '60, 2 door Galaxie, from '63 to about '71. It was called a Club Sedan. It was a door post car and they only made about 33k of them. I loved that car!

    On this one, I don't mind the removal of the chrome but, it needs it's headlights and grill back and what he did to the rear, is a SIN!!!

    Oh, yes, I agree the pin striping is good. I've always liked pin striping.

    I don't advocate crushing cars but I could make an exception with this one. :(HRP

    What about the cooling? doesn't that block up the grill for cooling? Maybe its EV?

    It looks like dual exhaust out the back, maybe jet turbine or turbo encabulator?

    A Starliner is on my shortlist. It would slot in nicely between these two -
