Take a new C6 Vette and replace the body with something inspired by the Stingray era...
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.uncrate.com-10752-1280330931.1.jpg) Details here. I'm not a huge fan of the headlight treatment, but a $130,000 gift card would be enough for me to overcome that. |

I'm not sure I 'get' these retro new cars. If you want a car that looks like an old car...GET AN OLD CAR. It looks better and typically a restored old car is less than a new-retro car.
I think new car designers are just LAZY and can't come up with an original design. |

I'm not sure I 'get' these retro new cars. If you want a car that looks like an old car...GET AN OLD CAR. It looks better and typically a restored old car is less than a new-retro car. I think new car designers are just LAZY and can't come up with an original design. It shouldn't be that hard to "get". Lots of people like style and good design. Not all people can fix cars. You can't reasonably own an old car unless you yourself can do at least minor maintenance, so the only way for some people to be able to have a stylish old car they can drive regularly is with a retro design. It's not as cool and they know that, but it's the best they can do. Consider that their validation of your own taste in cars by someone who can't do what you can do. They're complimenting you, so you should be polite and quietly graceful and thank them for it. |
