Looks like the paint scratched pretty badly.

All of the major car manufacturers create full size clay models of new designs, but this is the first I've heard of one being put on display in a museum for the general public to see!

Interesting how they're using the rays rims.
How and where the car is supporting it's weight, how will they mantain the clay for long time periods with out drying.
I've never seen a full size clay car model in pictures with full scales rims, the tires are generally done in clay too.
nice!

That's really neat! Those wheels are especially well sculpted.

On a side note, I was looking at my friend's bee and wasp collection and came across his giant Japanese Hornet. I noticed its eyes have a very unusual shape and wondered if they were any inspiration for the boomerang barbs of the 370z lights.

Long shot, but maybe...

I don't know why, but i felt the necessity to eat Jello Chocolate Pudding.
