I don't like it. Maybe without the skirts it'd look better. Proof positive that money does not equal taste.

Yeah, I'm with you. Those fender skirts ruin the look.

No but weirdly it does remind me of the car from the League of Extraordinary Gentleman

Seriously? I think it looks good - the front is a bit flat - but the sides look great. Very much of the time.

Looks like a Delahaye with the wrong grill.

I can't believe you're comparing the two.

Different class - OK silver is probably a bit much as it is so common these days - but back then it must have looked like an aeroplane. Very Rocketeer

The comparison was a a bit hasty, I'll admit, but tongue-in-cheek. Those skirts are just plain UGLY, though!

Skirts I love skirts!

On the right car, yes. In the case above, it just looks like the car set in the sun too long and started to melt!
