I would like to have a closer look at the chopped roof . Any more pictures?

Nope. Like Matt said I stole it from the dream cruise. Looks to be a $$$$ car. Dig that grille.

You’re probably thinking of Exner’s rendition of the resurrected Stutz. He really had big ideas, but even he was never that outlandish. This thing looks part Spohn, part Isaac Hayes’ Cadillac in Escape From New York, with a little Superfly thrown in.

 

[Old Mike]

Again, AAAGGGHHH!!!!

No I'm thinking Virgil Exner, period. Big ideas? lol. Some of these vehicles embody the very same ideology prevalent during Exner's day (OR the height of automotive debauchery).

Don’t be too hard on Exner. His early designs had relatively clean lines. They were rakish and looked fast standing still. Toward the end of the 50s, everybody was trying to out fin and out chrome the other guy and designs became gaudy and excessive.

Exner was a stylist who sold the public a bill of goods that came in the form of cars with ridiculous fins, gun sight turn signal lenses (seriously), chrome bombettes, chrome airplanes glued to hoods, and all sorts of other tacked on junk that served no purpose other than to convey "style". Sorry but this all went way past gaudy...and Exner (and Co.) deserve every sour word that comes their way.
