What's your opinion? If GM decided to build this would you be interred?

That looks like a 1959 Oldsmobile concept car

Weird lines, it doesn't flow well in my opinion.

Additionally, the front end doesn't go well with the back end. Ugly

Yeah it's supposed to be a mod to the 57, 58, 59 Chevy hence the nick name 789.

Did Chevys have dual bomb sites on the hood; I thought that was an Olds thing?

The wings look more Pontiac.

Front fenders remind me of Chrysler/Imperial.

There are more pictures in the link, the front clip is 57 Chevy Belair styled, the rear is 59 Chevy Impala
The bomb sites are 57 Belair hood bullets or a reasonable facsimile

It kinda looks like it sags in the middle. Where is the tribute to the 58? I don't see that.

I don't see a gas filler door, maybe it's behind the tail light.
