Butts, rearends, etc

[Buzz]

I have always wanted to post this topic for discussion but hesitated for fear of starting a holocaust. After the ERA vs SPF thread, I think we can handle it without taking it personally and going off the deep end. Its come up before but only really in limited reference to one or two brands of replica. Its the perky butt thing. FFR, yes and lately SPF, but what about others - like EM and (dare I say it?) Contemporary? Contemporary is commonly referred to as the most accurate replica, splashed from an original, etc. While I agree that they are usually beautifull executed cars worthy of much of the praise heaped on them, every picture I see of one shows a pronounced upturned butt. I have seen many pictures of originals and their subtle variances, but never have I seen one with such a kicked up rear end. EM, too, strikes a similar pose and their rear quarters look authentic enough, but raised and upturned from the doors back almost as if they were cut off and grafted back on to clear a higher mounted frame/tank/rear suspension. Once again - no criticism of these marques, just curious about the shape and whether anyone else has noticed...
Here's a contemporary "ASSuming the position".
