I like it.

Of course with brightwork like that, it should have a 1950s vintage V8 engine!

I like the two tone paint scheme except for the pink color. It looks like 1955 Ford Victoria stainless moldings design; very unique and creative, I like it......

I actually like it too. I'd like to see what it would look like if the pink were changed to red.

I think it's cool. Would need the right owner to "fit" of course and that may be hard to find.

I never liked that side trim moulding on the '55 Ford. It's just a bad idea for the trim to break the natural highlight of the fender.

That's funny, that's kind of what I liked about it. My wife even thought about having me get it for her as a fun car but decided it was too pink for her.

That's okay. It does make it unique. Ask any artist or automotive stylist, though. It's definitely a no-no.

It does need a different two-tone paint scheme.

Too bad they don't know how to properly fold the hood for stowing.
