Very cool photo. These things must have seemed quite radical when initially introduced.
I think that every time I think about the Europa and the compare it to the cars coming out of Detroit of the same year. Some may think the Europa was an ugly duck but to me it has become more timeless. It didn't change much externally besides the side sails being cut down and stance to meet different regulations but over the years I think it just has become a car that has grown into its looks and some cars have just got uglier with age like some of those Detroit boats (but not all of them, I do love a nice Camaro or Chevelle).
