For those who wonder where this design came from? This is a post from Ashmore asking IOW's posters opinions of what nose and body changes you wanted to see ! The car above came from GM and input from IOW posters.
It is the same new generation silver crown car that ran, with the new body on it getting ready for the Indy show.

Here is what they are considering. What do you think?
I like cars #1 and #6 for their old school roadster look.
I also like the #14 for it's modern look.
Your opinions?

Now this is some positive news and it looks great. When these hit the track we will have a great thing going.

Now that has some potential. I would like to see the back of the cage up a little and the front down. Looks like it has reverse rake at the top of the cage which throws the balance of the look off. Probably just the angle of the picture, but if they would angle it a little more forward it would look a lot more swoopy and be just as safe.

Actually kinda looking forward to seeing some completed.

looks like the last train wreck they tried to me. What am I missing? feel free to educate me on the differences of the pavement silver crowns and these gold crowns.

They do have some rake in them already the rear of the cage is higher than the front.

I'm lost too...

I think the difference between these and traditional cars would be that the gold crown car should be stable at high speed. Purely a guess tho so don't quote me on it...

I agree on the cage needing to be a little different to make it look "right" and not so much like a yard cart.

Last time I saw something like this the car was stuffed full of clowns and there were two additional rings of "entertainment" going on.

I love the fact that this has a Bow Tie in the center of the nose. Nice to see my tax money at work.

The grill emblem was ALLLL Wrong. I made a change.

Just another USAC disaster. A huge waste of money.
