Pulled into a parking lot this afternoon and couldn't resist taking these pictures.
Am thinking the designers at GM might have had some photos of this older Bentley on the wall while working on the C7

This is our 1934 Bentley....I definately know they didn't copy this!!

Hey Guys and Gals
Loosen up a little, I meant this as a tongue in cheek post, however having stated that, take a close look at the top photo, and see how similar both cars are in outline from the bottom of the windshield rearward.
I enclosed the 1934 Bentley to show how Bentley has advanced in 80 years

i see it in the roofline and the way the rear glass tapers. But that's about it. The C7 is infinitely sleeker.

I'll take the red Bentley, sell it and buy a Z06.

an older (used) Bentley costs less than a new non-Z06 Stingray though...

Depends on the car. It looks like an 06? So maybe worth around $70K?

Let's assume it has only 10,000 miles on it, so worth about $79K? Just like magic, the cost of a base Z06!

USCANAM, it's a rough audience. The cars are both sleak automobiles with lines unique to the car. In a prior post of mine about a month ago I thought the grill on the C7 looked like the grill on the 55 chevy. Boy, did I take a beating. Welcome to the club.

007, hopefully we'll both survive!
If you think this is a rough forum, try posting on the Shuffleboard and Tittelywink forum!!

I really don't see where anyone was rough here or "beat anyone up", they merely just said they did not get what you were alluding to. perhaps if you were a bit more explicit in your post, the thread would have developed differently. I have found forums to be devoid of what you get in real life when you are standing in front of another person and they can get what you mean by your expressions, etc...Forums don't lend well to sarcasm and jokes...

for what it's worth, I don't see it either...LOL
