Styling gone mad. The front looks like 61 Dodge combined with a Hawk rear end.

this car looks like it is already going fast, although it is standing still.

This Studecuda is a tad too radical for me.

It is certainly interesting. However, I think some adjustments, re-design and tweaks might make this more viable. I know looking at the early design concepts and ideas for upcoming automobiles can lead to some "What were they thinking ?" to "Oh boy, why didn't they come out with that !" moments.

Looks a little out of balance - back heavy. Elongate the roof a little and shorten the back end and you may have something.

I dunno Tony.  That something would still be a mess!

Not bad...maybe by increasing the ride height and replacing the wheels it might improve the looks?

If I'm not mistaken, judging by the roof and the distinctive shape of the wheel cut-outs, there is a Ghia L 6.4 in there. The chromed trim detail on the flank ahead of the door has been moved behind the door, and the rear shutline of the door has been changed (presumably in the process of combining the styling elements of the two body shells).

Ghia + Hawk

Since there were only about 20 of those Ghias made, and the most recent one to be sold at auction went for about $600,000, one assumes this is a Photoshop job and not a bit of backyard metal-bashing.

I think it looks OK, although the colour is a bit yukky and as usual I dislike the low-rider look.

Fantastic detective work. The Ghia is head & shoulders handsome, over the car below it.
