Every few years I see that thing.... I don't WANNA see that thing.

[GThawkwind]

Oh wow! It looks like some kid took some a model of a 53 and hot glued some legos to it.

[Skybolt]

Is it wrong to want to slap somebody????

A C-body is being molested by a Transformer.
-or-
Automotive equivalent of a Mullet.

*I can imagine seeing it approaching from the front and passing by*
"Look kids! Here comes a Starlight Coupe...one of the most beautiful designs of the post war era...one of only 10 cars recognized by the MoMA in NYC to --- OMG! WHaT the?! Look away children! LOOK AWAY!!!

It appears to be well done.
Looks like a lot of money went into it as well.

[allstateguy]

A whole lot of money spent with a truly unfortunate outcome. All that "stuff" in the back must do something. Looks like there are ladders or tables that must pull out, and maybe the back opens up as a car-b-que??

Back end looks like something that should be on the China Wall and call it Dragonbaker...Two words---IT SUCKS...
Thanks,

The ad says it was the result of the builders dreams. He must have been a very troubled man.

[RareBird]

Just cause you can do something...doesn't mean you should

[Andy R.]

C'mon you guys...he just hasn't installed the FLUX CAPACITOR yet!

[studegary]

It is called the "Spoiler". He took a nice design and spolied it. To each his own. If it sells low enough, I would like to convert it to a resto-mod where it appears mostly stock, but has more modern running gear.
It looks to me (front and rear) that it was built from a 1953, not a 1955.

[EssexExport]

Different. Just too different. The back treatment reminds me somewhat of a Mustang. This one is probably more like an a$$.

[Jerry Forrester]

I like it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, the outside of it from the quarter windows forward.

Looks well built, BUT, If I went out in my garage and that thing was sitting there in place of the saturday night special, it would be a NIGHTMARE rather than a dream.
