Well, I've owned a 57 Chevy, a 59 Chevy and a Corvette. Looks like someone put them all in a blender. Loved them individually, but not so sure I like them all in one. Just my .02 worth.

i DIG IT. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A BIG FAN OF THOSE `59 FINS, ESPECIALLY THE CADDY. THE OLD CARS HAD SO MUCH CHARACTER

Looks more like someone had a nightmare.........trick, but not pretty.

Well, everybody has their own tastes. As for me, I like it, except for those incredibly ugly wheels. I amazes me how they matched the body lines from those three models.
I saw that car at the New York Auto Show in NYC. I do not like it.
The craftsmenship was excelent, but I did not go for it at all.

I absolutely love it when someone puts their artistic expression out there for the recipients to "yea or nea".
Very talented people that make our world extremely interesting.
My hat is off to these people !!
Do I like this car..... "yes". Do I want this car.... "no"
I love it....... 57 front with 59 rear. No Caddy influences, just pure Chevy. Can't seem to pick the 58 influence though?
I'd love to see it with a set of Cragar five spoke 15" mags with red line Firestones on it though.
IMO i think that the front end is perfect, but the back end does not match. from a purely aesthetic point of view it looks like two completely different cars butted together. the two tone paint job exaggerates that. the corvette emblems do not belong on the side. it looks slapped on and cheesy. if you maybe did the rear more like a 55 vette or perhaps a 57 bel air, and ditch the two tone, it would great.
no pun intended, i think it looks half decent!
