Someone with a load of talent and skill painted this car and did an incredible job.

No doubt about it Brother!!

[@cindylawrence1515]

There's a lot of things wrong with this car`s redesign. The conversion to RWD is the easy part. (A number of Cords in the 1950`s had their front axel taken out and like a hot olds or cad engine put in). The paint is an idealized candy but its still just a candy. To me, what should have ben done is to deemphiphize the hydraulic pump system because that's too innbcity. You want to drive the design towards a more upscale social direction. To me, the most disappointing aspect was the grille and hood area. The grille is a simple crude extention of the stock grille eliminating the e inte. rest items is just wrong. They z

[@cindylawrence1515]

Interest items is just wrong. They Could have sectioned and chopped it carefully to make it look a lot more slinky.. But Eldos with a too radical sectioning and chop just look wrong you have to be careful. Finally why not lower the hood raised area to lower the front profile. Originally this was a power image thing on eldos but here a lower, more fluid image is far better, so..... W. &

[@cindylawrence1515]

I'm just adding my perspective as a graphic designer. I remember the late 50's George Barris era along with Joe Baillon after which came like Winfield, the Alexander Bros. Etc. My brothers chopped a lot of cars in the old days. So I do have good perspective on what works and why some cars are honest efforts, like this one, but can be made better. All I was offering my viewpoint. So exactly what do you feel was wrong of the point I listed?

Your welcome Brother...Crazy cool for sure!!

[@nealbradleigh5069]

This generation of ELDORADO was probably Bill Mitchell's best effort (recalling the 50's efforts, still under the wing of Harley Earl). The lines are so clean, there's that balance of form and function (nothing to excess, that you'll see in the next iteration, up to '78 downsizing). There were those "Battle of Inches"war years, where so much acreage was added on to best LINCOLN (to the derision of Europen designers). The modifications could be misinterpreted, yes, but think of how fantastic these new interior accoutrements balance with the original lines. Great! The paint speaks for itself. Roll this up aside any STUTZ models and this will hold its own!

That was way cool Scottie. Paint reminiscent of gellcoat work from Eliminator Boats in SoCal. The Ford Lincoln rear hinged doors xcellent. And converting 2 a rear wheel platform was how this vehicle should have left the GM Plant in the 1st place. Interior & truck ( boot in Aussie lingo )👏👏👏👌👌👌 1st class. The centre console was sweet.

[@ScottieDTV]

[@lynwoodloco77]

A lot of people seem to forget or never knew that lowriders, kustoms and hot rods came from the same core base of customizers. That is why more traditional lowriders and hot rods share the same style of paint jobs, chrome and all that except hot rods lean more towards speed than looks, kustoms more of a cross between both looks and speed and lowriders more towards looks, of course many of them end up with a souped up engine too just in case. I appreciate all cars that take real work and talent to put together.

You must not know the owner of that car. Joe Ray was the pres of Lifestyle car club, they are the torchbearers of traditional L.A. lowrider style, but they take it to another level. Their cars are always cleeeeeean and untouchable. He eventually became the lead at Lowrider Mag and used his position of influence to shape the hobby. His style has matured and evolved and morphed and adapted some of what the AMBR guys have been doing. You may want to check out what powers the Helldorado. That whole car is exquisite. I think it may sway and inspire future builds.
