I know it's a Rolls but the front grill is hideous! The National Lampoon Vacation station wagon grill is exactly what it reminds me of.
Desperately needs a rededesign from the fire wall forward.

The Wraith was the first to offer this indulgence....fibre optic lighting in the roof liner. I think other models also offer it now.

Oh, that IS cool! I love that they made the lights of a variety of different fiber sizes. Makes it look like a starry sky overhead.

Fuller designed it that way because he decided
that the most aerodynamic shape was a falling
water droplet.
Got to hear him lecture one time, interesting man.

One of the best automotive rear ends is still the 1969 Chevy Camaro: I think 1969 was my favorite year for the Camaro - it was an improvement over the first two model years. As far as the rear quarter view, though, the first-generation Mustang Fastback/Sportsroof is tough to beat:

No towing hitch and look - they put the steering wheel on the wrong side. How the heck do they expect to sell a car like that?

Hyundai, I own one.
I call it the Korean Chrysler -aka Hondawannabee.

That’s a thing of beauty! Haven’t looked at boattails since I was a kid. I remember researching them after reading a book about early racers.
Of course, we had to go find them in books and never would have had the number of pictures. I remember most of the reference books only had a few pages with color prints. What an incredible world we inhabit today.

It’s pretty neat. Reasonably cheap, reasonably fast, and uncommon enough to turn heads.

Rolls always names their cars. That one should be the Rolls-Royce Honky Lips.
Proof, as always, that money talks louder than taste.
