No, someone was having fun with photoshop rendering from a 2011 Camaro.
I think it's kinda ugly personally.

Although, Some changes I can envision:
- Drop the bumper a bit in front of the grills for the '70 version
- Change the silver/chrome grill work to something more modern
- Maybe modernize the headlights
Or....
- Do it '68 style !

I like the wheels as an updated SSI type of look.
And I really like the fact that someone out there likes our orphan brand enough to spend valuable time photoshopping an Oldsmobile idea. Maybe a few other somebodies can expand on that idea for SEMA or something like that!
A little extension on the front fenders, and you could get rid of the droopiness across the leading edge of the front fascia, for instance, That would sharpen up the look of the grill and the whole front end.

There is a reason abortion is legal.
It doesn't look any better as a 442 than it does as a Camaro, and I cannot get past that Joker smirk. Although I will give it to it- it looks better than the Lingenfelter Firebird version. That thing looks like it ran into a block wall. From chin to hood looks like it's five feet tall. Granted, L didn't have much to work with, but.
There was pic floating around a couple years ago of what an aftermarket body company had in the works for the Camaro. It got rid of the smirk and all the round elements on the front and rear, and substituted horizontal headlights ala 69 RS and horizontal taillights ala 1st gen F-car. The difference was astonishing. They took a turd and turned it into a fairly decent-looking car. Why can't GM itself do that? because as much as they try to convince me it's reminiscent of the 1969 car, to me it is anything but.

That's why the 5th gen concept fans begged Scott Settlemire to stay true to form to the
Concept 5th gen Camaro. GM obliged and kept 99% of it true to the concept and it's the best
selling muscle car out there today finally taking the crown after 24 years from the Mustang.

Which .....IMO is a huge accomplishment because 2005+ Mustangs went retro and look phenomenal.
Dodge Challengers are just overpriced.....that's their problem.
