    Maybe you should look at the car a bit more. History IS NOT everything. Just because it was done "back in the glory days" doesn't give it pass in the styling dept. My eye says it looks like a Facel Vega had sex with a Ford coupe and this is their mutant kid. Packards are history too, but it would be a lie to say the 48-50 Packards were stunning and gorgeous. Maybe from the rear 3/4 angle, but the front looks like a cross-eyed kid with a mouthful of gumballs. Yeah, even my personal favorite marque fucked one up. To just blindly accept with open arms, everything done back then as perfect and beautiful, is just as bad as thinking everything has to be a Deuce hiboy or lay frame. This is of course my opinion. Your results may vary, tax and title extra, see your dealer for details, no purchase necessary...

    Didn't barris go thru an ugly customs phase? Show customs are kinda brutally ugly. But I guess they have a place, kinda maybe?

    I like it, except for the shape of the windshield, which is really killing it and the front end below the grille. With a 36 Ford screen and surround back in it it would look a whole hell of a lot better.

    This Thread has gotten out of hand.

    One of our valued Users has left, and others have gotten Banned over it.

    A good discussion about someting a couple of people disagree on shouldn't cause all that...


    For me personally, I hope this car will find the right owner who will give it a loving home.
    And once its not on internet auction and classifieds sites anymore, that might shield it some from people hurling insults at it...



    I think its time to Close this one.
