They did a nice job on that '50, its a bit over the top for me, but hey its a free country. I've always thought the HHR favors the '48 Chevy Fleetline with its down turned grill and pontoon fenders going back into the doors. Even though the official inspiration is the Suburban, I've got to think that the some of the Fleetline snuck into the mix. Take a look at the '48 and see if you can see some of it in the HHR.

Nice find! Now I really see where they got the look. As someone above said...I wish there was a kit or some way to make the headlights look round, even with a sheet of vinyl the color of the car and the main light cut out. I think u would have to do this while it was on the light to get a perfect match with headlight ring. Anyone know of any such thing?

Yeah that's what I was talking about Songman. Awesome '48 you've got there and one super sharp HHR too! Glad to see someone with a Fleetline. The 46-48 Chevys are forgotten by most these days, overshadowed by the Advanced Design truck and the '49 cars, but they were lookers in their own right.
