Reminds me of the girl with three headlights from that Arnold movie.

To me it' like the original, design was as good as it gets, and need no improvement. Hard to beat stock design.

You can beat stock design.
This guy just didn't.
Too bad. Looks like a nice car otherwise.

It is a pretty nice car but it is ugly. Too bad.

I thought this was the only tri-headlight 59 I've ever seen, until this car showed up

Did you find it parked near the tailings pond behind the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant?

In my opinion,

The front might look nicer if the additional headlamps were amber/fog lamps and turn signals placed in lower section.

The back of the car is where it looks terrible, with it's Cadillac tail lamps, hideous exterior spare tire mount, and ridiculous extended rear bumper.

That rear bumper seems extended far beyond what you would see with an aftermarket Continental kit.

Sort of an odd custom but definitely sharp.
