I just went through the Feb 2020 issue of Classic Car magazine and on the last page was this ad.

I see a 1970 front end, a 1968 side stripe and the ad stating this is a 1971 442.

 

A very confused 442...

That side stripe looks like it goes over the hood too. Not only do the rear tires look awfully skinny for a "resto-mod", those wheels look more like Mopar wheels than Olds wheels.

 

You beat me to it, Tom. I also was going to take a pic of this ad and put it on my old thread from 2013. That pic of a ad was from probably 1998 or so- same deal. Would you buy parts from these "experts"?? Take a look at my old thread I'm going to try to link it below. Oh by the way I know Joe would just love this "1971" with side stripes! He loves that!! https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums...experts-60396/

 

Wasn't this a car that Foose did on Overhaulin?

 

Yes thats a Foose car done the way he wants with features from Olds that he likes.

 

Designers don't know much. I play a video game, where there's a harbor. The square rigger ships that are backed into berths (not common) are not only rigged with sail, but are sheeted in and under way, while at dock.

 

I usually like Chip's work, but that's awful.

 

Totally agree
