Much more rooted in 1957 Chevrolet styling. Nicer looking than the previous iteration as well!

Essentially, a channeled '57 Chevy with C-pillars that have been pulled back too far IMO.  Not bad, but I liked that '57 Chevyford  better.

Now this one is more palatable...a '57 Chevrolet with an elongated front clip and roof line. Loving the structure.

Someone squished my 1957 Chevrolet. Did a giant sit on it?

Much better but roof could use a minor chop IMHO.

It looks a lot like a Chevylac.

Much nicer than the clever but somewhat awkward Chevy/Ford combination. It manages to look longer, lower and wider than the real '57 but retains the feel of the original. But I don't much care for the way the greenhouse has been pushed back, giving an exaggerated front end which spoils the proportions (to my eye, at least).

I have shunted the greenhouse forward slightly, without altering its proportions.

Fake '57 Chevy edit

Matter of personal preference, as always.

Didn't like the 'as found' rendering in that the proportions were significantly off, to my eye. So, after viewing Graeme's changes and noting Jack Dodd's suggestion, which I agree with, I offer the following sequence of edits. I pretty much left the house alone, per Bob Jackman's wishes.

As found:

57 Chevrolet 'What If' rendering  (1)

Moved the greenhouse forward:

57 Chevrolet 'What If' rendering  (2)

With a mild chop:

57 Chevrolet 'What If' rendering  (3)

Closed up the front wheel opening:

57 Chevrolet 'What If' rendering  (4)

Moved the rear wheel opening back slightly:

57 Chevrolet 'What If' rendering  (5)

Your courteous comments are welcome, as usual.

Enjoy, and Happy New Year!
