I love C3s, especially “Corvette Summer” style mods. That is just depressing. Maybe if it was properly hoped up I could live with it.

Come on, guys. Is that really worse than a dead stock C3? Over the top, just pointed in a different direction.

You and I have very, very different eyes.
John Welsh said:The Cadillac XLR is a C6 done Cadillac style. This thing was ahead of its time as a C3 done 1976 Cadillac style with the Cadillac Seville/Eldorado inspired grill and roof line.
So for those of us who are not of taller/lanky stature's how in the actual hell are you supposed to get to that gas cap without laying over the rear of the car?
You guys are all wrong. I love me some 70s pimp mobile. One day when I grow up I'd love to have a whole collection of Superfly vehicles.

Cut the roof off to make a convertible, remove the continental kit, shrink the grille, and you'd have something decent. Maybe better tail lights too.

I find that part to be the most distateful, like they did a bunch of work to make the swoopy door profiles and then were like "damn, I'm tired. Let's just make the back of the cabin a box."
That was very stylish in the late '70s and very early '80s:
The Seville has aged better than some of the others, particularly the Cougar, which was awful even when new. But that was definitely the place this guy was coming from when it was built.
But the real design inspiration were the various "revived" Stutz products, and their imitators:
I see this as a valid choice when you happen to have a free parking space between your Zimmer Golden Spirit and your Stutz Bearcat.

I know! I couldn’t decide if that was the best or the worst part!
Back off y'all that there sure is purtty BwaHahahahahaaaaa..... perfect for the holiday in Tomball parade this past weekend.
Oh damn! I had to find an image of the Zimmer. Remember when these were proudly displayed at car shows in the 80's?
IIRC there were a few other brands that were pretty much identical.
I need to find an antacid. That image search made my tummy upset
With a less overdone front end and wire wheels I wouldn’t hate it.
Not that I’d ever want one but if I saw one on the road I don’t think I’d say “ew.”

Excaliburs were all over the place in the mid-80s.
That's the one. I got as close as excelsior. Excalibur eluded me
Prepare to puke? More like prepare to Nuke.
This thing is like captain Crunch with orange soda instead of milk.
When I popped open that link I was not sure what to expect. Took one look and all I could do was laugh...
