I like a lot of the Barris cars, but I'm sorry, I don't think the work on that one improves the lines of a 57.

I have more problems with this than it's looks. Barris may have put on "Bondo" with a trowel but he did have an eye for style and no way would he have made the skirts look like they were just stuck on. Look at the bottom of the rocker where it meets the skirt, plus all those right angles. I'm going to contack the seller and ask what proof he has this is a Barris car.

Lou, be curious to hear his reply. Not everything Barris built has been"beautiful'' or "stylish'' but one thing that owners have always valued even if modified from the original build is the Barris medallion. And if every car that George put his signature on at a car show was listed as his, well there would be a lot more of his builds out there.

It's not as bad as I was expecting, but still not my bag.  With modifications on these cars, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  As for me, I just can't see anyone improving the looks too much over what FoMoCo provided as automotive perfection back in `57.

I think the Barris in this case is Sam, not George. Nothing on that car flows right imho...too boxy.
I can do this, I can do this, I, well, maybe
