I've seen worse, but old timey cars don't excite me in the least.

And way to not even try on the interior, guys!

Short answer. No.

Long answer: Hell no.

Did they graft actual 54 Chevy rear fender panels onto that monstrosity?

The tailfins and hatchback appear to be from 1957.

Turn some of that chrome into darker metal or plastic and ditch the white roof and that would be a fine rock and roll vehicle for me. Pull up outside the club and dump out a few road cases and amps. I'd do it.

But poor musicians ain't got no money like that.

Front bumper adornments and hood rockets are from 57 too. I don't think these came from an actual car, far more likely to be reproduction parts completely Frankensteined/bastardized onto it.

I'll actually say the tailfins don't look too bad on this, from the frontward angle. Once you get to the back and see how far out they stick it falls apart. the rest looks bad from all angles though. If it was better done I wouldn't hate it, but that's not saying much other than I hate how it was done.

I loved the look of the 57 Chevy. Just saying.

The kind of shiat only a khaki-shorts-wearing boomer thinks looks good, all the way down to the chrome Cragar knock-offs and garish proportions.

I want to get my wife a '57 Nomad in Tennessee Orange/White, but she wants airbags and 4wd, so this seems a decent compromise.

That one is. It's also the wrong color(s), so I'd have to order one properly painted and equipped.

I've seen worse. There's someone in my town who drives an early-1980s Cadillac Sedan de Ville that's been modified into a pickup truck. Like a classy El Camino.

Can't hide that beefy height of the Tahoe with that. Because of that, the proportions look all wrong.

The only way to do this right is to take an old car and beef it up.

I used to have a neighbor that had a 57 Bel-Air in their junker collection on their property... before the county hauled all their junkers from the 1950's away as junk.

Jesus, even the sh*tbox 80s ones are going for five figures these days on Bring A Trailer. I thought you were kidding.
