    Reminds me of a late 70's Eldorado.

    Planning to submit it?

    Take a look at the rules...

    Great design - but it's a little too 80s-ish. Try modifying it into a four-door sedan.


    A note to all design contest participants - if I pound you with penalties or point out that you can't enter one of your designs, please do not think that this is a personal bash on you as a designer. I am merely enforcing the rules that I have set down.

    I love it! though it looks more like a Cadillac than a Buick that's a car for my taste.

    Nice job! Keep it up.

    Isn't that the point? I was thinking more 1982-ish.

    Heh, It really does remind me of an El Dorado I can't say that I am a fan of the Opera window, but the whole thing sort of seems tongue-in-cheek.

    No offense meant of course!

    TorRed, I take back that award I gave you earlier.

    The Earth needs another El Dorado as badly as it needs a cable channel showing Three's Company twentyfourseven...

    T-
    Your missing the whole point, why would be need a car "big-as-a-whale"?
    So I just had to bring back the lovely Lincoln/Caddy coupes of yore. Now I'll stretch it out for a four door for the contest but c'mon, you'd love to get behind the wheel.

    Behind the wheel of a streamroller maybe...

    I dunno, put me in a velvet leisure suit and give me some platform shoes with fish in the heels, and maybe I'll warm to it.
