Stick '66 Vista

Nicely done (minus the script Four-Four-Two), & not an insane Buy It Now. 1966 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser | eBay

It's tastefully done. Too much wheel and not enough sidewall IMHO.

Very nicely done, it's almost as if he was a little shy about claiming 4-4-2 so he did it in ghost letters; as well he should have. I agree with you that it is just fine without the script.

Looking closely at the last picture, showing the casting number of the engine block, 381917 A, appears to be the ID of an early 1965 425 block! Very nice looking Vista Cruiser but no pics of the underneath! Do you think they are hiding something? Maybe just too inconvenient for them to get it up on a lift.

I could do without the fake spotlights. They belong on a 50 Mercury.

That's really nice, but like others have mentioned, I'm not a fan of the spotlights. I also agree the rear wheel set up could be a bit larger to fill those wells.

And my new pet peeve, because I've seen it so much lately - can we please understand that rockets go up, not down (hopefully). Elon Musk would agree!
The grill rocket (or the whole grill) is upside down!
