'40's Packard grill. The car is nicely done, well chopped but the chop makes the lower body look a bit thick, in my opinion. Also, it appears to have more 'stuff' on it than I like, so I did some edits.
As found:
With a bit of stuff removed and the bumper bolts shaved:
With a slight section, to thin the body, some further cleanup and a V-butted windshield:
Took some of the chop out of the top to better balance the proportions and some paint blending and smoothing:
If I remember correctly, Brush started his driving days with a 40's era Chrysler or Dodge and this one may appeal to him.
Are any of the edits more appealing to you?
Enjoy!

Remarkable differences! Like JK, I like the third shot best but would prefer to drive & own the fourth for the added headroom.
