Looking good!  Always a favorite car of mine.  I may be alone in this thought, but I always felt it would have looked better without that huge round wheel well in the rear.  Anyone else agree?

@georgeschire I actually think it makes the car.

@georgeschire Sorry George I don't agree. The rear wheel well is a great design detail for me.

Mark Sweeney and Bob Jackman, thanks for sharing your thoughts.  As I said, guess I'm alone on this one.  I've just never been a fan of entire wheels being shown on cars.  Thus, you can imagine that I'm not excited about any of today's cars, as none have fenders over the wheels.
