Like a more refined Ford Thunderbird. Very nice lines and gorgeous interior. I am fascinated similar designs. I am not knowledgable enough to understand influences and schools of thought but always interesting to see similar looks.
It's hard to follow at the design level who influences who ? With Italian automotive design with Pininfarina, Vignale, Scaglietti... And on the other side of the Atlantic, it was more automotive designer Harley Earl or Raymond Loewy... But it's great to see the influence between the different models.
Beautiful car.
