I think you should one up this guy and put a wing on the front as well. Should really hold the road well and maybe some small side wings too. Keep you from drifting at high speeds and what about some big fart can mufflers like the rice rocket guys use. Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ya know I think a road racing wing could look good on that car if it and the car were done up right. But not that wing on that car.

The rear shot of that 66 looks awful,I can't believe he didn't use a 2 1/2 inch hole saw on that bumper to tuck the exhaust up higher

For a seasonal touch, he could put the red nose on the grille and some antlers on the top of the windows.

I guess that there's no excuse for bad taste!

Wow - thanks... I never thought of having a big wing on the 'cart. A civi c one should fit on perfectly.

Some people's meaning of good taste is beyond reasoning...
Richard - make your new wing higher so it is 'cooler' looking...

You would have to de-ice that thing before flight around here or that car would go down on take-off.

How about a ducktail spoiler?

I'm usually a "drive and let drive" kind of guy when it comes to what people do with their cars, but DAMN .
I saw a 66 or 67 Cutlass years ago with a whaletail. I believe it was purple on top of that.
Some cars look good with or without a spoiler (first gen Camaros for example) while some look strange without one (second gen Camaro). Other cars like 64-67 GM A bodies just don't look good with any type of spoiler.
Speaking of which, after the wing got ripped off of my Charger in a car wash (don't ask), I sat it on the Cutlass to see how cool it would look. When I stopped laughing to hard to keep the camera still I snapped a couple of pictures.
What do you guys think?

The "how cool it would look" statement was definitely sarcastic.
One thing I never realized until I did that is how rounded the back end of the Chargers are. It looks like a boomerang on the Cutlass trunk.
