Pardon my ignorance - but was this another VW model available during the 50s or a persons creation ?

Great work. One thing that strikes me is how wonderfully even the panel fit is, but also how wide it is, even compared to other classics. Is this just bad judgement on my behalf, or is it wider on these and if so for what reason? Do these cars flex a lot?

What's with the droopy nose? Were the convertibles really made that way? The coupe seems to be much less "inverted banana".

Sorry for asking, I have no experience with these exotic cars.

All Rometsch cars were handmade and none of the parts of a car fits to another one. Both cars got back all their original mounted parts but in Detail they Looks different. If you note the bumpers, the main strukture is the same - but their ending is different. You cant Change them to each other without modiffication.
