Filobedo Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 You want it to look like the Fish with the spots? Or the solid color? I kinda like the Carp myself. Better air flow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF1 Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Look at the front end of an Edsel and tell us what you think <span style="font-style: italic">it</span> looks like....

Guest Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 DTakas,Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I find it strange that the look of a fish is perceived as a complimentary way of saying you like something. BUT, it is fine that you shared this with us. It makes for "interesting" discussions.Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filobedo Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 But, He said a "DEAD FISH" flopped down on the chopping block. And that he wanted to "Change It". Not Very Complimentary or Beautiful.Not to mention the Pics... I see mine as a sleek "Black Cat". Maybe that's why "ALF1" likes'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Third one looks more like an F-80 or a Mitsubisi (not an A6M).Ford must have liked the design, they repeated it for the '70 Cougar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 If it had hole in the front fenders, "All Buicks have Holes in the fenders " and Fins like a 57 Buick Road master. It could be aquatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF1 Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Guess no one around here is old enough to remember what the Edsel grille looked like. Actress Terry Moore put fur around hers....<span style="font-weight: bold">-- ALF </span> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
65buickgs Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 DTakas...I think the pictures you provided make the Reatta look great. Now you have me thinking. The setup in the pictures really makes the Reatta look more like I think it should look. It is not an elaborate change, but enough to make it look more modern and more in the European designs I think Buick really wanted. If you find any more info on making the changes possible please let me know...Thanks...Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only ever saw pictures of them, or one that I saw in a scrap yard. How come Edsel's dont have a nifty forum like this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry yarnell Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 Fish, huh. I never looked at it that way; such a beautiful car. But you're right; a catfish. Without the whiskers. Now I'll never be able to not think of the front end of a Reatta without thinking fish. Thanks for ruining my day.Actually I'm now gravitating to look at the Edsel female phallic front end as a diversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don B. Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 If the Reatta looks like a fish then what does a '69 Charger look like?A sperm whale with it's mouth open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_Flash Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Actually I recall not being very impressed with the Reatta's front end, back when they first arrived. I felt it was too much like the Skyhawk and not worthy of the 30 grand pricetag. However, at the Craft Centre, during production in '88, I was able to see the body without any glass, paint etc, and from the side, it looked remarkably like a '65 vette. The hind end, I always thought was its best feature, and reminded me of one the space ships in the original Star Wars. I believe the one that Hans Solo and Wookie traveled in, with the thick rounded backside, all lit up with thrusters.As for a fish? Well it never struck me that way before.

Filobedo Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 The Millenium Falcon Which was based on Harrisons'/Falfas' `55 Chevy in "American Graffiti"But, Your Right. It looks more like a Reatta.I noticed that too When mine acts up, I also say and I "It's Not My Fault!"It's so ironic that you mentioned that...As One's just as "Quirky" as the Other. But, Both allways seem to get by in a Pinch!"What do you mean there's no HyperDrive!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
