Flip it upside down, drive it backwards and nail it!   You'll be the fastest speedboat on the lake.   Drive it as is.... you'll be the joke of the road.  🤨

An interesting concept and it was certainly true that fastback automobiles were very popular around that time.

It's as if you can't decide: Riviera or Eldorado, so you have a bit of both.  Imagine what the designers would say about you.

It could use a few 'softening' tweaks. Bet Terry Daly could fix it!

I don't think it looks too bad, actually. In the styling context of its time, it could have worked just as well on a "Special Edition" Cadillac as on the Riviera.

The "Corvette/Barracuda" rear window looks a little small and cramped relative to the bulk of the body. I've had a quick go at opening it up a little but I'm not sure if it's an improvement or not. Just couldn't resist trying.

I liked the Cadillacs and Buicks at the time just as they were.

It's growing on me.  Kind of like it. The Riviera roof on an Eldo, nice touch. I like Geoff's rendition better.

Undaunted by his personal identity issues, Geoff tries again, making the back window wider at the rear (thereby increasing the weight of the rear glass by another 250 pounds, which explains the sagging rear suspension).
