Those giant chrome molars in the grill! And a miniature secondary maw with it's own little teeth in the bulbous extravagant hood, flanked on either side by those malevolent eyes. A dinosaur on wheels. Then there are the more moderate details -- the peculiarly modest tail lights, the odd shape of the "C" pillar, the deeply recessed front wheels, the great bulge of the rear fender to engulf the wheels. The chrome setting for the door pulls, the little cover for the keyhole (to keep it clear of ice?), plus continuous chrome at the base of the windows. This was the era of moderate fins and imagined stream lining to communicate speed.
Unfortunately could not properly capture the noble portrait of de Soto in the center of the steering wheel.
