<VV> GM Car of the Future (No Corvair)

[airvair]

I wouldn't say that the LM coupe is "one of the few that does not
benefit from 'cutting the top off.'" The poor thing is simply out of
porportion to the rest of the body. The best thing you can do is either
cut the top off, or add a Fitch Sprint Ventop.

Nor would I say that the sedan is "not as sleek" as a coupe or convert.
The sedan is sleek in a luxurious way, and it is perfect from all
angles, unlike the coupe. So it would depend on how you define "sleek."
