I wish that I could have been there to this car up close. Maybe it will be showed at all Custom shows around the country. I think that if this was a roadster it could win the Riddler  Trophy

Very cool looking car...indeed !

But what does being a roadster have to do with winning the Ridler Award ?

[Mike 1017]

Because I don't like that convertible top.  I would like to see  the interior with the top down

That looks like a Dave Kindig design that an episode showed.

Wow! That is one beautiful Connie in my opinion. Other than the lack of skirts, it's just about perfect. ?

They left the skirts off on purpose.  They grafted in front fender openings in order to show off the wheels and give it a more "hot rod" flavor.

Oh I understand why they did it. I still think the car would look better with skirts. And it is okay for others not to agree with on that point. We all don't like the same thing. Nor do we have to. That what makes life interesting.

Ugh, that back angled rear window looks good on nothing.

That definitely helps take away some of the massiveness, but this is no small car, and so much body sculpting...the wheels and tires work well with the car though.

I went to the show and saw the car.  Pretty cool.  Too bad my camera's battery charge ran out and I couldn't take any pictures.
