With all the retro, I wonder if ford came out with this rounded look today, in this same size, would it be a hit? I’d definitely be test driving. Chevy tried it with that SSR failure but that was more of a retired custom hot rod look vs this real blue collar truck look.

No. 37 people would buy it new, a million redditors would say they'd buy it used, and it would be cancelled after a year

They’d probably mess it up like the SSR and the HHR and have very dismal sales like you said. The retro muscle cars have been a big hit because they did them right and they appealed to the younger crowd.

I’m not crazy about them. Looks more like car wheels/tire setup. Other than that Jolene is looking GREAT!! If ford came out with this rounded look today, in this same size, I wonder if it would be a hit. I’d buy one!

Been thinking of getting my project painted but instead I’m gonna nickname it Thunder Road
