Once you see that face, you'll never forget it.

'I never forget a face - but in [this] case I'm prepared to make an exception.'

Well done

[Xingu]

It is a unique vehicle. I would have to see one in person to decide if it is ugly.

I'e actually seen several "Shark-Nose" Grahams--they are interesting, to say the least--Sadly, the stylist, Amos Northrup (no relation to the aircraft/aerospace company) died before the styling project was finished, and that resulted in some compromises to the rear of the car.

This was only the second one (out of, I don't know how many) that I have gotten correct. I think my average has gone up by 0.23%.

[1st 700 Quad]

Oh My!! Ugly it's NOT! I only wish this was available in scale. I'd love to build one of these in 1/25th!

[dimaxion]

Ma's resins had planned to cast sell these as kits .. No word yet .. Thanx ..
