Does it have a chrome strip running along the front base, just above where the legs attach ?

Well, if the roof of your front porch leaks, you need a windshield on your couch, otherwise the wipers won't function properly.

I hope she doesn't spit her chew out while sitting on the couch on the front porch. Ugly mess, it running down the inside of the windshield.

That being said, I don't think it really detracts from the car. Of course if every new car is
forced by law to look the same, then that could become a problem very rapidly.....

Zactly the same. You, my friend, are a genius.

DS 20/1 is one of my favorite cars. As a matter of factory, the DS 19's front end as copied from Loewy's 53 Studebaker.
Still the most comfortable car ever.



Quick Reply: c7 front end same as impala and malibu?
