Dirk,
Good for you !!!... I'm with you on those '70's NYB's.
Retro is "cool"......... what about the old style "nose" look, like an old Cord/Rolls/Bentley ???.... you could take the basic NYB style and pull back the frontfenders/turn signals one foot or more and get that "forward look" with the nose sticking out, and then maybe a "boattail" or "continental/flightsweep" tail. I like the old style stainless steel roofs and I like the idea of a "retro" interior also......... You could make it SO MUCH better looking than the NEW UGLY "300" that Chrysler has coming out soon !!! Just my 2 cents.....Wishing you ALL the BEST !!!....Keep us posted....I'd love to see your ideas !!!!.......CHEERS
