Nah - looks too much like an ambulance/hearse to me...

My sentiments exactly.

@sizedoesmatter I like it a lot for the most part but I agree that the 5 foot long rear window is ambulance-like. If it was mine I would add the Bel-Air side trim and spear and also the Bel-Air gas tank filler door. I think that if the side window "separator" trim piece was installed as on the '55 Nomad, it would take care of the ambulance effect. Lastly, I would put back the Chevy emblem on the hood and paint the car original '53 Bel-Air colors. Just one person's opinion......regardless, the guy made a nice job of it.

It's not what we like but what the owner likes. It's the owner's car and money. If the owner is happy with the car, that's what matters.

Before reading other comments, my first thought was ambulance. Lot's of work went into this.
