What I don't understand is the need for the insect-a-soid headlights. Frenched headlights didn't look good on the late forties Lincoln and they dont look good here. Does no modern designer have access to Pierce-Arrow pictures. Or any late thirties-early forties car pictures showing how the rounded pod lights were fared into fenders?
I do like the the side view where the glass is. It kinda reminds me of the Lebaron town car with the sharp front edges and the rounded third side glass. The wide sill is another matter. It reminds me of the late forties Buicks. As far as I'm concerned the styling of the late forties Caddys and Buicks remind me of neuvoux riche bloated, fat ladies at a buffet.
Oh yeah, I dare anyone to not do an ab crunch getting into-out of the front seat with that sill.
