That one was always a bit much for me; I believe there's a 1/43 replica of it though.

Thanks John. Looks like something I would have drawn when I was about twelve years old.

Different indeed! It's fun though.

Over the top design. Does look like something out of a period comic book, I’m sorry to say.

@david-green Interesting comment David; that is what my immediate impression was upon viewing it as well. It's not a design that flows very well IMHO.

I've always thought this was kind of cool, very different. Different enough that I needed the model. I need to get some photos of it.

What ever it is supposed to be, I'd not be able to walk past it FAST ENOUGH! It's a nightmare!

I agree with David, it does look like something one might see exaggerated in a comic book. Reminiscent of the car from the movie, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. And, if it is good enough for Bob Hope, it's good enough for me. Great choice John, and I'd add that it could very well be the quintessential definition of your 'something different'! Thank you!

can anybody else see a resemblance? To me its got that 'designed by a committee look' I'd grab a replica at the right price.
thanks John

I wonder if the person who designed the front of the car ever met the one who designed the rear end. Not sure my photo editing skills are up to correcting the proportions on this one. Thanks for sharing, John, I do appreciate what you do.
