Thanks!

It looks to me to be very reminiscient
of early '60's (pre-Stingray) Corvettes.

Last Saturday I went to the library, and saw a car in the parking lot.  I
don't remember what it was, but the design of the headlights and grille
prompted me to build this model.  I looked at some pictures of Mustangs
and other cars from 1969/70 to get more ideas.  So, if it resembles a
Corvette, it was pure luck, except for styling cues common to these cars
:)  this isn't my favorite style of car, but it was a great one to model
in LEGO, and I'm pleased with the result.

Good use of tan for the interior.

I didn't actually buid the interior in tan, although I wish I could have.
(that would require some non-existent pieces, like a 2x4 conducting
plate in tan...)  The actual colors it was built in were:
red body, white interior, white roof, black decorative line.
