Beautiful renderings. In general I like it, even the 56 Buick-like chrome molding (didn't 57 Fords have a similar line as well?) on a car that is derived originally from a 55 Chrysler. The only thing I don't like, appearance-wise is the wheels. They are too big and blingy. The middle of the three images, with the delicate split 5-spokes, of the same width front and rear, is a lot more attractive, plus it shows off the brakes. 17s or maybe 18s would be an appropriate diameter. I don't agree with the choice of powertrain either---it should be an ultimate Red Block: late B230F from a 95 940---200hp is readily available from these without compromising durability too much, which would be plenty in a car of this light weight, and pair it with an M46, (P type OD) as electric overdrive is a long standing Volvo tradition.
