If I was going to go that far with that Buitucke I would have chopped the top too so it wouldn't look like a Buick.
I'm not one for shopping usually but I think that with this custom car it would have worked out very well.
I notice that I actually like those ugly cars after awhile. Son has a 1950 Studebaker..... Ugly. Friend has an Edsel......Ugly. I don't care what anyone says a 1957 Chevy is ugly. Look at all that chrome and those ugly fins! The Tucker and old Hudsons were ugly. Gremlins, Nashes, etc were ugly. I looked in the mirror. I'm ugly. but I love them all!
I think this is the first time I've heard anybody call a '57 Chevy ugly. They're one of my all time favorite Chevrolets, right up with the '60, and the '65.
