Still wondering where the "Coupe" part of the car is located. Don't coupes usually have a roof or top?
30's style cars were kinda fussy with taller bodies, hoods, thin fenders and thin wheels and tires... Whitewalls make them look higher cl***, but not really mean, unless the tires are bigger, wider. Low, wide 50's cars... with tall tires... kinda float on big wide whitewalls... like a shark on the bottom of the ocean. BTW, my '46 Ford Tudor has WWW... bigs and littles... I've photoshopped it with blackwalls, and it looks like a taxicab. so it depends on the car.
I think the car is pure ***. That, and the fact that they seemed to nail the stylings to the era of the movie makes it one heck of a car as well as a rolling piece of art. .
Sorry but I'm just not feelin' it. Close but I think the tandem rear axle kills it. I watched the movie too; looks like they spent a **** ton of money on a car that gets about a minuite or so of screen time. No good close ups; could have doctored up an 80's kit car to the same effect. What the Hell, someone had to be a ****!
I've been diggin' on this car for a while but didn't know it would be considered HAMB friendly. The thing is ridiculously long in real life compared to other cars and stuff. I dig the military version the most.
