Funny.
Great find. I also looked at the link at the bottom - new cars with old noses. I suspect a few Mopar guys would dig the Charger with the old nose.
Well, that shows me two things. One, you can't really mix eras successfully, and Wow, do new designs have bulbous noses.
Oof. The W201 Benz made my soul hurt.
The 911 works because...it's the same car.
I kinda like that corvette.... err ferrari.
All but the Mustang and BMW didn't look too bad.
Ooof. That Mustang is hideous.
Now someone will feel the need to make it happen, thanks Internet.
It really drives home how unattractive the front ends of many modern cars are compared to older stuff.
The Porsche one looks decent.
The fact that a Diablo is considered an "old car" makes me feel old. Should have at least done it on a Countach.
The BMW 8 series from the other link looks pretty awesome!
The new noses cars are universally terrible, and the old noses on new cars are... workable! I think the Land Rover looked like it could be made to work especially well!
the aventadiablo was OK. the rest, not so OK.
Then there are those that actually do it.

There should be a law, or an angry mod or something!
Given how they'd just put the front clip on there with minimal work to line up body lines and no attempt to make the rest of the vehicle match, some are less disastrous than they could be. The Diablo / Aventador and Quattro / R8 almost worked. I suspect there would be some '90s cars that would take a 2019 nose cone reasonably well, too.

Kid said he got it cheap. Already had a different nose in the garage for it. Whoever did the work did a good job but still had to go. Personally I would keep it on just to piss off the purists, probably put a ford engine in it too.
