I have a targa without a tail, and a Carrera with a tail. If you drive fast enough, IMO a tail is a very desirable feature, and not a fad.

I like the magazine Excellence. They do nice features on cars of interest, cars that many would like to own or drive. I think they tend to follow trends. The nice thing about a Duck, a Whale or even a plain lid is that they look nice on your wall, and they will always have value.

In America, I have been watching the fashion trends in clothing, and I am noticing as time goes on, every kind of style may be seen at once. Everything is in fashion. I think the current fashion in 911s is to build the kind of car you would like to drive, own or show. Some do this and retain the original bits. Others build cars that would be hard to return to stock.

There is even a trend towards ratty unrestored cars, and I don't mean rat rods.

I like your approach of making a sleeper, and not following any trends. I really don't care how they look if they don't go well. But if you need a tail, a Duck is not a bad way to go.
