Here is that Buick + Corvette that Christopher Moroni listed a couple of weeks ago that he liked, and I kind of liked it, but........

The wheels were outsized and the car was simply too busy. But it had possibilities so, I did some edits and will share a couple of them.

As found: 

0 Bui Vette   PS

Downsized the wheels and made the body far less busy:

0 Bui Vette   PS1

Eliminated the very visible spoiler in favor of a standard trunk and further cleaned it up:

0 Bui Vette   PS4b

So, Christopher, do you still like it though it is less wild?

How about the rest of you?

Enjoy!

You did nice job of "clean up,"  but I still prefer "all the crap."    Not that I love "tacky adds-ons,"  I don't, I prefer cars "stock,"  free from gratuitous glitter.   But in this case, it all works for me.   Of course I have no idea what the front looks like, perhaps you'll be called upon in the future.   🤔 🤨 

I would admit, if I had the thing built -after looking at your pics- I might be persuaded to "86"  that spoiler.  🤨

Make that 3 - I LOVE the last one. I understand your point of view Chris and agree that the original shows the tell-tale signs of Corvette/Buick origins. But the 'cleaner' version leaves a little of that to the mind's eye of the viewer, if he/she is a car buff. So I'd be happy with either, but prefer a little less stuff.

Excellent work Terry!

Gentlemen, I looked at the selection you all favored and took one more cut at it, to further clean up the car. Did I go too far?

It still has discernable Buick traits, but lacking the Corvette side cove leaves that brand's element out.
