Close followers of car design already know about the "catfish g(r)ill" styling trend featured in the three cars above. (For us laypeople, the term refers to the vertically-oriented slits at the front corners of the car, by the headlights.)
The sharp-eyes over at Car Design Fetish know where they've seen the look before and reach wayyyy back, like fifty years, to bring you the source: The 1956 Club de Mer concept car, by Pontiac. And man is this thing sweet!
Call us crazy, but we think Pontiac oughta dust the old blueprints off and start cranking these out at the factory. Oh wait a sec, that's right, they're having some sort of financial difficulties right now. How far the mighty have fallen....

The pontiac in fact looks very futuristic. In these days many cars have been designed like space-shuttles. As far as I am concerned I'd prefer the Aaston Martin;) Great pictures here!
