Has got to be my favorite builder of "domestic" cars, I have always loved how he makes them look business like and how he uses the seventies styling clues to get a unique look...  I wouldn't like to have the big rims he uses, but the man has a cool approach to the building...   Just check out this interview:

I hate big wheels on any car, but that black/orange car looks pretty tough. Thankfully, they're black and not chrome. Gotta give the guy credit; those cars are very well thought out.

I love big wheels on any cars except old beetles ( i love it on 68- German look beetles).

This is why i love big wheels on US cars, because they are mine.... Cool


68 Pontiac Catalina Kruizer


72 Buick Skylark Pro-Touring

Many people don't like Pro-Touring because they prefer to tow their trailer queen to shows,  or to the strip because their car is a nightmare to drive on street.
P-T is like a german look beetle, it's made to ride with a lot of pleasure even in the corners !!
Big wheels make room for big brakes !!!  Grin

WOW. That wagon (estate, outside of the U.S) is KILLER. I've seen you post pics of it before... but it's still cool. Don't see those on the road much anymore.
