Oops, not sure how that post got repeated... but it done ain't repeat'n anymore.
Your father had great taste! I saw a '51 Frazer at the Hudson museum in Ypsilanti, right here in the Detroit area. What a nice car, very good proportions and detailing. What did you think of the Vagabond's trick hatch? I created something similar recently on a Caddy SRX, you can see pics at mahoningdesign.com and get the background story at:http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/interview-paul-west-and-the-search-for-a-cadillac-flagship/
But back to your design vision. Sounds very interesting and promising. The thread that I mentioned in previous post has some what-if Request images at the end but they are not what you are suggesting. Here's a start at the front. Did you mean the tinfoil around the headlights or along the car's sides? Do you want the front bumper low like I show or higher like the Request? What do you envision in the area under the headlights/above the bumper? Did you want a split front bumper with the grill continuing down like the Request? Anything else up front?
