The lines are nice, I wouldn't ever buy it but I do admit it's kind of cool.

I would imagine that in 1948 to make a car with those kinds of lines out of sheetmetal was not an easy thing to do. Really impressive.

That is a beauty. I wonder how much something like that would fetch at the auction block.

Wow, what a beautiful car, crazy that it's from the late 40's! I just joined this site, and it's great to have a forum like this for car enthusiasts. Anybody know any other sites I should check out?

I like it. A time when the designers ran the show, and not the bean counters.
