Probably moot though--I think Singer as a brand was pretty much gone by 1970, and no one would've mistaken the Standard for the roadster from Fiberfab/CMC.

Replying to: stephen987 (Nov 01, 2009 7:19 pm) What were they thinking? They got the styling all wrong, mixing up different eras that are 30 years apart, utilizing bad proportions and exhibiting a pretty apparent ignorance of car design in general. It looks like a 60s Lincoln front end welded to a 40s Triumph 1800 roadster, with an 80s golf cart bumper and wheels from a 70s Pinto, and seating from an airport lounge.
