1957 Olds custom

$89000 not mine, a lot of work went into this car. Not my cup of tea but I respect the effort.

I don't doubt they spent $125,000 on it but I don't think they will ever get $89,000 for it. The headlight are well done but in my opinion are ugly.

Yea, they really make the car look cartoonish.

adding a buick grill doesn't make much sense either. he took out the original which many could argue is better look and definitely more rare and swapped it for the buick grill.

selling a custom car is hard. most people wont like the body mods.

I may add, over the years these customs have begun a HUGE business somebody is buying them right?. I mean you won't be around in business long if you build and sell at a loss-dah. Now that said as a hobbyist I have known from the get go I will never get out the $$$ what I have put into my projects-it's hobby not a business. I'm sure some of you guys have friends that have spent more on their hobby's/sports. Golf, boats, Rv's etc....
