    I knew what vehicle this was before I clicked on it.

    The '60 Plymouth was talked about as the ugliest production car of the 60's.
    Lets just say I don't think the builder improved things..........

    To me the fins are the least offensive part of the whole job.

    I like the car overall, but the '60s/2010 stripes HAVE to go!!! Lowered? Awesome! Wheels and tires? Just right. I like that the car has the original 318A engine in it, rather than a damn SBC.

    Lack of grille? Bad. The Ford hood scoop? Ridiculous on this. And, ya gotta wonder what the black undercoating is hiding?

    Ya know I thought I'd seen it someplace before. Didn't go to Turkey Run last time but saw it somewhere in Florida. How could I forget?:banghead3:
    I hate the wheels/tires more than anything. And maybe without all that black it wouldn't be so bad.
    I know. The owner didn't ask me what I thought!

    I'm trying to look past all those fins on that wagon. There;s some high quality paint and body work on that car. I kind of like the tail light treatment on it, is it stock 60 Plymouth or what? :confused:

    I agree it looks like quality work. It just looks like a mish-mash of so many different styles though that it just doesn't work for me. Between the tear drop hood scoop, newer style exterior rearview mirrors, huge billboard stickers, and the weird grille treatment it's like they are all fighting against each other for attention, but nothing is winning.

    I think it would look better without the rearview mirrors and billboard stickers and some kind of a grille. I think it would also look better with a gunmetal grey wheel instead of the chrome.

    Somebody sure dumped a whole lot of money into this Mopar and it was obviously a labor of love with what appears to be top quality work. I just can't help but wonder how nice it would've been had he done it all factory stock original.
    Hey, it's not my cup of tea, but as they say in the car business, there's an a## for every seat.
