somone messed with gumby's wagon

[img][/img][img][/img]

i gotta admit, for a concept ...it looks good

The nose looks a tad 'heavy' for me in the lower area, but that is a nicely done custom.

I like the look a lot but I am presently heavily medicated!

Oooo.....yikes.....no.

Can we finally get rid of the crappy black side trim that falls off...please?

Whoa, I'm getting an automotive erection! Love the nose with the restyled waterfall grille. It looks "2012" in the best possible way. The contour between the back door and the rear window is also very sexy. I'd love to see what this wagon looks like from the back. (Sorry, it's just a thing I have about "backs.")

I wonder what it would look like in dark red or black? The big white-wall tires might not look so good.

If this isn't someone's Photoshop dream, I'd buy one in a minute! I'd keep my current 95 RMW in the garage right next to it.

Put it on a Fleetwood frame so we can have some freaking legroom in the middle row please.

Bill,there are certain parts I find very interesting but not enough for an automotive erection!Maybe
a twitch

Yeah, but we haven't seen the back yet. That always gets more than a twitch from me.

You need one of John's "I like big butts"stickers for your wagon.Ray a picture please!

sexy im almost in love shhh don't tell robyn i like how the windows on the back doors and it looks like the tailights will be wicked looking. looking forward to seeing these on the round

The rake on the front windshield looks akward. The window treatment on the door also looks off - keep the rounded edge at the end, but keep it flat along the belt line.

I like the front end treatment for the most part, although I am not a big fan of the headlights pulled way back into the fenders. I do like the tail light extending around the side on the back.

The sun/moon roof would have to be re-evaluated - maybe a panorama roof option for both the front and middle seats, or a full-length roof rack option for those that actually want to carry things up there?

Overall it is a great effort given the basic shape of the current car. It modernizes fairly well.
I would buy it if it is priced/optioned right.

I love it. Cadillac is changing models and you cannot purchase a new hearse for the next year.

This is what it will look like, hopefully I will have one

Is it sad that the XTS hearse looks nicer to me than the regular XTS?

Hearse? I guess I didn't realize that GM bodied hearses were also long roofs. Guess I learned something this evening.

That twirly chrome thing on the side definitely turns me off. When I go, they can flip down the seats and bury me in my RMW.

Bill

Nothing personal Lorne but I am being cremated and my ashes thrown off the york river bridge!
Yes I know its against the law here but I wont be the first or the last.

I prefer the full glass look too. Reminds me of the old combo cars.

If the roof is fiberglass modding it would be pretty easy. It would look good with a lower roof line. Then the landau bar could be removed for a more wagon/panel delivery look. It would look even longer. It would be nice if it was a rear wheel drive too.

So where did you find this picture Ian?

Looks like a Tauras in the back IMO

Real funny you posted this I was looking at the newer Buick bumper covers to see if I could mate one of these up like you posted. The the only reason I wanted to do this was because of the lights. I never thought about the side c pillars. This honestly gives me more drive to look harder now. Thanks for posting.

Interesting concept. I'd like to see what they propose for the back. (They hint at it a little with the wrap-around tails.) It looks like they cut off a fair amount of vesibility with the C-pillar treatment. That's one of my main complaints against the newer Buicks I've rented. They look cool (and the interiors are star-ship radical) but the visibility stinks.

If that Buick was a time capsule, what era would it represent?
IMO, too many conflicting themes at work with 2012 meeting the fifties....
The windows are round and swoopy while the woodgrain layout is very straight and square.
The whitewalls are hideous!
The Black Cad hearse would be my choice!

Those whitewalls wouldn't work if it were modernized.


On Scott's real car though, they're awesome.

i have narrow whites on mine....i couldnt afford wide whites like scott has.
oh and scott....i wanna get a pic of our cars together at daytona!
