I can't say I like that, but in the right setting, it kind of has a weird appeal.
Not something to take to Tesco mind you. That said, a friend once went to Tesco by horse. Well, she told me that the horse needed exercise and she needed milk, so...

And a LOT bigger engine, a 429 (so about 7.3litre)

It's nicely done but I think the notch back is better looking.
A lot of work to make it look worse!

Yet the Ferrari 'Breadvan' is an iconic vehicle.

I think that is the look they were goimg for.
I'm not a fan of the breadvan either, much prefer an "ordinary" 250

Yep but the 'Breadvan' was faster.

Would it be road-legal in the UK without mudguards, even at that age?

Feb.52. Mom standing in front of Dad’s 50ish Studebaker Champion. He later had a Studebaker Hawk… I’ll post a picture when I find it.
After the Studebakers he got a 59 Olds 88. ( his was this colour but these are pictures I pirated from the internet)
they only made this model for one year. Something about federal laws regarding maximum passenger vehicle widths… seems it was over.
I remember sitting in the back of this thing with my 3 brothers. I don’t remember being crowded at all.
those are 14” rims on that thing, because we want it to look longer and lower than it already is. We had a trailer hitch on the damn thing so it scrapped its butt every time you pulled out into the street. Silly thing.
we laugh at the size of these things but they are lighter and smaller than half the stuff on the road in North America now.

I love 50s and early 60s yank jet age inspired stuff. Fins, jet engine inspired lights and fittings, bring it on!
