Looks like that HHR rear ended a truck full of shopping carts.

Well, IF y'all had taken a look at the link I included, you would have seen that this wasn't exactly this designer's idea. This was the wet dream of a customer who was trying to recreate a look from his past. We actually don't know how Bob felt about it, but hey, it's money and it's a commission. Like I said, it wasn't my cup of tea, but I love a controversy!! I have a teensy photo of the orig Buick they were trying to duplicate:





By the way, it's not paint, it's some kind of thick vinylly stuff ---very strange looking.

I'd love to see a standard real-wood kit on an HHR. The wheels and tires on that Buick-esque HHR are really sweet.

Well they did a great job of recreating, the platform just wasn`t right.

They could have used the nicest wood on earth, and it would still look like crap........

You have to go back a review the HHR to really "depreciate" how bad it looks.
This car (I say that tongue in cheek), is best viewed with one eye closed, and your hand over the other...

That actually happened to me once, and I almost had a sex change operation!

Since the posting are a few years old, I doubt there will be any present responses to this!

Anyone know of the whereabouts of the "woody, 53 Buick HHR" done by Bob Cohen? Thanks.

You appear to know Bob Cohen. While this is a very old posting, I just saw the woody he made and wonder if you have any information on either Bob or the car. I saw another posting recently (2012) with Oregon plates on it. So may be in Oregon.

Anyway, have read the comments on this thread, and while there seems to be a mixed consensus about whether it is good or bad, I still like it! Just got my HHR (2011) a couple of months ago. So hoping to maybe spruce it up a little. Maybe, for sure, not the hood/grill change, but some of the other touches...thanks. MAHK
